DVD Synopsis
Forbidden Warrior is structured loosely on a popular Asian myth. The story concerns Seki, an attractive woman who discovers that she can utilize an ancient book of spells in order to accomplish just about anything. She must master these spells before the book falls into the hands of those who mean to do some serious damage with it. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Michael G. (mgmirkin) from PORTLAND, OR wrote on 9/16/2009...The movie seemed like it had promise despite it's made-for-TV-ish-ness. But it squanders all it builds by simply cutting off the movie right when it's set to actually go somewhere. I was kind of expecting an "intermission" and "part 2" but no such luck.
IE, the entire movie is about training this mystical chick who's supposed to be the "chosen one," save a mystical book from an evil warlord and save the world. Well, we get to the part where the girl's up and trained. But then the movie just ends. No world saved. No book retrieved. No warlord defeated. It feels like they only made HALF of the movie. Did they run out of money or what? Or was it really so poorly written that it ends before anything is really even resolved? We make it to the part of the story where we're at the "rising action," but we don't get to the climax or resolution of the overall story arc. They really either need to release a "vol 2" like the Kill Bill saga, or just, well, send it back to the drawing board.
Can't really recommend this one, unfortunately. I had high hopes. But the fact that the story never goes anywhere was a real disappointment.
