Independent (UK)

The ritualised action sequences work well enough. It's just a pity the film-makers did not pay as much attention to the plotting as to the design of the movie.

Rated: 3/5

The Times (UK)

It's the kind of film that confuses slow-motion with significance: a shot of some rain dripping from the end of someone's nose takes minutes but tells us nothing except that the umbrella has not yet been invented.

Rated: 1/5

Guardian

As opportunistic Game of Thrones cash-ins go, this perversely watchable low-budget quickie at least improves upon its producers' risible Hammer of the Gods.

Radio Times

There is a brutal simplicity to the action that will appeal to some, but in terms of non-violent content Sword of Vengeance seems stretched even for a relatively short film.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

Despite all the action and the relatively short running time, we seem to spend large portions of the film waiting for something to happen.

Rated: 2/5

Daily Star (UK)

Fans of samurai movies, historically inaccurate hairdos and a video camera's slow-mo button should lap up this daft swords and sandals slasher.

Sword of vengeance is such an awful film that halfway through I shut it off. The editing is so bad so choppy everything feels like it was done on a soundstage. The acting is almost unbearable. The use of slow motion is nauseating. This movie tries to be so cool and so hip it comes off as embarrassing.

I can see why people would not enjoy this movie, but I was in the mood for it when we crossed paths. I felt it was very dark. the first third seemed as if it was filmed in black n white. If you like medieval and sword fighting check it out. It might be a pass for you if you only get down with serious type films. I saw it on Netflix. It is what it is.

Uufta! A wannabe cross between GOTs and Gladiator. Pretty bad. But if you like predictable gore, this maybe the one for you. I feel sorry for the actors whose names will be forever tied to this stinker on IMBD.
