Featured review
"THE SWORD is Tam's debut feature, a wuxia fantasy about the price of pursuing one's obsession and the concomitant comedown. A young swordsman Lee (Cheng) is hellbent to challenge the retired and reclusive Fa (Tien), the No.1 swordsman. Encountering Fa's feisty daughter Ying-Chi (Hsu), his sweetheart Yin (Chen), who is married to another ambitious swordsman Lin Wan (Chu), love triangles emerge as well as sinister schemes, but the sloppy plot (rarely a good sign when there many more than two persons are credited for the script) is the weakest link, kismet is contrived and incidents are spliced together just to form a tenuous story development. For instance, Lee's possession of an evil sword leaves one scratch one's head."
