Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
Remember that movie Jumper? You might not know that the books it was based on were quite a lot darker; the protagonist's teleportation powers weren't rooted in the fun sort of escapism you might imagine, but the sort that you get when an abused child is terrified of their imminent death.
The Sword Bearer is like that, Witchblade by way of European art cinema, about a young man with "special powers" rooted in pain and childhood trauma. That does not excuse Sasha (Artyom Tkachenko) for generally acting like a pyschopath, but does explain why the film is more concerned with love found and lost and found (and lost) than with cutting people in half with sword-hands. Though that happens too.
If you can excuse the dodgy script and sometimes clumsy editing, it isn't too bad.
