“I have never been so motivated to write a negative film review before. This movie has, as far as I can see, no redeeming features whatsoever.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot is mediocre and unoriginal. The script is clichéd, unrealistic and uninspiring. It seems to be a low budget movie, but has a story with action sequences that need far better special effects, or less ambition. The acting seems terrible, but with that script and the low production values, anyone would have looked bad and I canu0026#39;t fault the actors for anything other than bad judgment for accepting the job.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne thing that stood out above all else for me was the poor quality of some of the action sequences. The (mercifully) short sword fight between two of the leading ladies was probably the worst fight I have ever seen on screen. For a director who has made a career as a stuntman and a fight choreographer, this is really puzzling. What happened? In one of the final scenes two supposedly expert fencers have a fight where they hack at each other with foils as if theyu0026#39;re holding machetes. For a film that takes itu0026#39;s name from such a classic story of sword fighting excellence, this failure is an insult, and unforgivable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was warned before watching this that it was bad, so I had exceedingly low expectations. Even so, they were not met.”
