Princess Blade

In the near but indefinite future, an unnamed, isolated Asian state has been taken over by an oppressive government that uses a clan of assassins, the Takemikazuchi, to enforce the laws of a brutal regime. The clan's most ferocious fighter is a woman, Princess Yuki, who inherited her cool, concentrated style from her late, legendary mother, the longtime head of the Takemikazuchi clan. She duly and unthinkingly carries out her mercenary duties until she discovers that the new clan chief, Byakurai, murdered her mother in his quest for power. Now, aided only by an antigovernment rebel, Takashi, she sets out to exact her revenge.

    4 for action, 2 for story

    Donnie Yen choreographed the action scenes in this Japanese futuristic meets old school story. I think it has the potential for being a great film only it seemed to condense too much into too little time. The Princess in question was a good character albeit unconvincing as an hardcore swordfighter (her arms are like sticks), but she's cute though. Other than that, a few speeded up fight sequences. The secondary story about the revolutionary bloke were a bit tedious and distracting. Given the choice, I'd opt to watch Versus which does what it says on the box, Princess Blade tried to be something it wasn't and didn't succeed unfortunately, pity.
