MY partner put this on, I checked IMDB and rating was 3.7 normally I don't watch anything under 5.5 but my partner fell into a food coma after dinner...I think he sat on the remote as I couldn't find it so I left it on, BUT.... I was being more and more drawn into the movie and the character of Jane, I agree with some of the other reviews ...the storyline had a lot to potentially but was not executed (sorry about the pun) overall. That said the main character was really well acted, compelling and kept me engaged.....maybe some resinence to female affinity...but I have seen alot of awarded film festival, rubbish with worse actors.... It was actually Ok awarded 7 to balance the score and a reflection of the lead actor :)
Plot summary
13 years ago, Jane Arcs was condemned to death after brutally killing her opponent in a underground street fight. Now, in just 24 hours, Jane will be executed for her crime. During her 13 years on Death Row, Jane has undergone a major evolution under the tutelage of a fellow inmate and Qi Gong Master Xin, learning the way of Qi Gong and ostensibly gaining supernatural abilities. As the day of her execution arrives, Jane embraces her punishment in the spirit of transformation. Max Stone, Jane's boyfriend as well as correctional officer and part of the execution tie down team, has very different ideas. He is willing to do anything to save Jane. Will he kill others to save her life? Or will Jane help him to see the light and to let her go? The Way, climaxes as the essence of spirit collides with the raw power of desire, ultimately bring the audience full circle in seeing how both are essential to being human.

two competent actresses, surrounded by mediocrity
In general that acting is so bad it is jarring when Eli Jane (Jane Arcs) and Joan Wong (Master Xin) have such good performances whenever they are in a scene together.
The story, directing, editing and cinematography are all competent but casting is a disaster.
Eli Jane handles her strip inspection scene very well. What could have been a gratuitous T&A filler, she manages to keep a dominant screen presence while nude which ain't easy.

mixed feelings
From the start the tension reigns supreme, whether it is the one who is watching the movie or the general atmosphere between the actors, you can sense it.
The film took me to a different world. I don't think any of us want to experience it, a world we see and hear about in the headlines and newspapers. Such stories have been filmed many times in different films and in different languages, in The Way it is so different that you live the event. And even participate in the decision within you. A woman was convicted 13 years ago of murder. Atrocities. What will the day of her execution be and how will she appear on it?!.
What are Bob and Frank's reactions?!
