Customer Reviews

A Korean historical action movie with great choreography

This film is set in 17th century Korea at a time when Chinese invaders were a menace. This film has a typical sword expert in retirement plot but is done in a fresh way. This edition on DVD finally came down from $100 plus price. "The Swordsman" had many favorable reviews from newspapers who don't usually review martial arts films when it came out in English.
