despite the title and the sword bearer and and the dvd cover ( action or herioc pose of the sword bearer ) this be not a super hero film . ( minor spoiler ) it follow the tale of sasha and the sword bearer and who be curse with have a retractable sword in his forearm . cool you say and but no and this be real life . if you have this power a a child could you control it when and say and face by a mad man and or when your mum boyfriend be beat her . and if you do not control it and how do you cope with be a two time killer at the age of 12. this essentially be where sasha be when we meet him . wander aimlessly after another killing ( much like a bout de soufflé ) . he then meet katya and and the pair fall instantly in love and provide sasha with a real reason to live and try and change his way . however and his past be still chase him and in the form of two police officer . that be essentially the story and and there be virtually no action on screen and though a lot if suggest . i really like this movie . unlike many hollywood up hero film and we get very little back story and there be no bad guy ( unless you count the sword bearer himself ) abut there be a lot of heart and good character development . worth check out if you can find it .
