Warrior
(2002)

The most unique story of any independent action adventure film available.
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** "Competing Mexican drug cartels are destroying each other ... and that's where 'Warrior' begins ..." ... with Mexican drug lord, Carlos Eldoran (Ron Joseph, "Navy Seals", "Barfly", "Scarface", "Born in East L. A.") ruthlessly executing an informer, then bribing the government's new anti-drug czar, General Figueroa (Hector Mercado, "Delta Force 2"), to conspire with him in the perfect partnership ... using the military to establish a drug traffic monopoly by building a secure operation deep in the remote jungles of Costa Azul. Unknowingly ... the General is about to invade the quiet and peaceful enclave of the Native American Esselen Indian Tribe . who are hiding deep in the Mexican jungle ... and meet an opposing force he could never imagine ... the supernatural son of a divine force . with magical powers: Dreadmon (Vincent Klyn, "Cyborg", "Point Break"), separated from his biological parents at birth and having discovered that he was adopted by the Chief of the Tribe, sets off on a quest to find the secrets of his true identity. Dreadmon cannot misuse his magical powers and must use them only for good or lose them and feed the strength of the evil witch Mootin ... the supernatural daughter of the divine force. As General Figueroa's soldiers clear the jungle to build their drug manufacturing and distribution headquarters, they invade the tranquil existence of the Esselen. Dreadmon witnesses the execution of his adoptive father in cold blood and, contrary to the "way" he has been taught, reacts in anger and unleashes a lethal charge of electricity and fire ... driving off the soldiers . but drawing to him the evil Mootin ... who is re-ignited with the desire to seek him out and destroy him. After an argument with his "brothers" about whether to flee or fight the soldiers, Dreadmon leaves the exotic jungle behind and enters the concrete jungle of Puerto Vallarta ... to seek help from the local "policia". The local police captain is a cartel puppet who tells Eldoran that Dreadmon is seeking help to defeat the "slave raiders" who killed his father. And when Dreadmon is arrested after using his supernatural powers in a bar fight, the cartel's hit man (Matt Gallini, "End of Days," "Crimson Tide", "Rudy") bails him out and takes him to meet Eldoran, who cons Dreadmon into using his powers to destroy competing drug cartels. To see through Eldoran's deception and become the "Warrior", Dreadmon must undergo an agonizing inner battle, which calls forth his own inner spirit in the form of the Midnight Sun (international rap star recording artist "Yukmouth of the Luniz"). Only when Dreadmon surrenders to the truth does he gain the strength he needs to defeat the treacherous Eldoran drug cartel and save his adopted homeland ... and face the dreaded Mootin in spectacular climactic combat. "Warrior" is a richly photographed action/adventure fantasy, filmed on location in the exotic jungles of Costa Azul and the urban grit of Puerto Vallarta, which matches mythological powers against modern day corruption in a unique portrayal of the classic confrontation between "good and evil".
