The best displays of swordsmanship I've ever seen, hands-down!, 10 August 1999
Author: RogueNav from Abilene, Texas

Where can I start? The plot of this movie is fairly standard stuff, lots of testosterone, sexual tension, and rippling muscles. But, when you take the time to look deeper, you'll see that this film is more about skill with a live blade than it is about acting. I personally counted at LEAST 6 distinct and different styles of swordsmanship, and they were portrayed almost flawlessly. In a modern world where any movie with swordplay is simply artless hacking away, this is indeed a breath of fresh air. If you liked "Highlander", (the original, not the pathetic sequels, or the appalling series), you should LOVE this one. Give it a try!
