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.

Jane (Eli Jane) and Xin (Joan Wong) first clash in the prison yard. The guards threaten to put them in “solitary”. Both women, mind you, are already on death row, meaning that they should never not be in solitary — what they’re doing in the yard in the first place, I haven’t the foggiest (nor do the filmmakers, I presume). Then again, this is a movie wherein practicing qi gong can turn you into a veritable saiyajin. That Xin, and later her pupil Jane, develop powers through which they could easily break out of prison is pretty stupid; on the other hand, that they actually choose not is what makes this film intriguing. As it turns out, the Asian concept that The Way is chock full of is not the Chinese qi gong, but the Japanese wabi-sabi. This film is very far from perfect, but it sure
