Movie Reviews of Sword of Honor
Movie Review: at least its not completely unoriginal
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a typical B-martial arts movie for the most part, though I enjoyed some elements of the story more than anything else. Steven Vincent Leigh (Ring of Fire, To Be The Best, Deadly Bet) plays the lead, a cop named Johnny. This is probably the only martial arts film he has starred in as a good guy. After seeing his performance in Sword of Honor, I'd have to say he is better off playing a villain. The remainder of the cast is not too familiar, and mostly give so-so performances. There is plenty of action, but most of the fights are rather short and uninspiring. There is a scene that I crave with these American made films, where 2 guys fight on the dance floor at a club, but again it is kind of short and nothing too special.
What I enjoyed most about this film, and the only thing that saved it for me, was the focus around the bad guys and their boss. I won't spoil anything, but in the end it is not the underworld boss who ends up being the true villain. Some cops also get involved with the bad guys. Thats been done before, but it adds to the spice of things here. As far as the whole Sword of Honor concept, that didn't grab my attention very much, and supposedly whoever claims the sword is undefeatable. The story focused mostly on Johnny getting revenge on the bad guys for killing his partner - which is not an original concept at all.
Overall, the fight action was dissapointing. Steven Leigh usually gives more in many of his films, and his final fight in the film against the villain I thought was rather weak. It was obvious his opponent was no match for him, and therefore was not an evenly matched fight at all. But in the end, it wasn't the action that grabbed my attention from this film.
I would not recommend this film for great martial arts action. Even a fan of Steven Leigh might be disappointed. The story is about the most enjoyable aspect of the film, though certain elements are forgettable and others not.
