Not quite good enough to jump out of the pack of Asian swordplay movies but is too well crafted to sink into utter anonymity.
A martial arts fantasy in modern dress, but set in an unidentified country and era, The Princess Blade is a tough toasted sandwich with a soft filling.
With its stylized, near-surreal comic-book look and roots, The Princess Blade has all the makings of a cult film.
Original and thrilling martial-arts choreography, a lean, hard-driving story and solemn atmosphere make The Princess Blade -- a futuristic tale -- stand way above the pack.
