Rating: 2/5 -- Despite all the action and the relatively short running time, we seem to spend large portions of the film waiting for something to happen. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- 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. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Glum, dumb and (even at 87 minutes) bum-numbing. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Fans of samurai movies, historically inaccurate hairdos and a video camera's slow-mo button should lap up this daft swords and sandals slasher. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- 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. Full Review
