Warrioress

Rarely do you get a film where the opening scene tells you everything, Poor storyline lacking any originality. The script is contrived and worthy of 11 plus level. The acting reminds me of low level GCSE English plays where the head girl or head boy gets the key parts but don't knoiw how to act and seem to be always providing a sultry pose to the school head. Let'sbe clear, people give Vinnie Jones a hard time but he is an oscar winner even against the combined talent of this bunch of posh kids playing make believe.

The scantily clad girls was the only interesting thing.

The fight scenes were funny though . No wonder its on Prime Video which seems to be cornering the market in this genre.

Cecily Fay leads a cast of hugely talented UK martial arts performers on a Roger Corman-esque low-budget fantasy adventure shot on the gorgeous island of Guernsey. The fight scenes are exciting, fast-paced and plentiful. Cecily also provides the compelling score to the film.

You have to go into this with low expectations. It's not a great movie by any stretch of imagination. It's a low-budget B movie with an unoriginal story and pretentious dialogue. The acting looks bad mostly due to the fact that it's hard to pull off this kind of dialogue without looking silly.

While fighting in most B movies is usually ridiculous, it actually looks real and functional here. Sometimes you can see the actors are too obviously avoiding hurting one another, but for the most part, it looks good. The little warrioress Cecily Fay (143 cm) certainly knows how to move around and fight. And that's what this is all about. The whole movie is just an excuse to see Cecily fight, and fortunately there's quite a lot of that in the movie.

I won't get into the story, because there's really nothing new there. A warrioress, a quest, an ancient prophecy, blah, blah... It's all a bit silly and predictable.

If you want to watch a good movie, skip this one. But if you like fantasy, medieval-ish setting, and fighting with swords, and if you know what you can expect, it's not too bad.

Pros: The fight scenes are good and the actors actually know martial arts. The story line and concept are really good. Shes short and probably would beat you in a fight, makes for a unique character.

Cons: The acting is sometimes bad and laughable which still provides entertainment. The budget is low and it often shows, but a bit of imagination holds it together. Better establishing shots could be used for the scene with CGI at the evil dudes base. Also, wheres the ending? Did the budget run out or a sequel was planned but not made?

In Warrioress, two warrior women in skimpy outfits chase after a McGuffin, sorry, super important twin swords, and take turns dishing out beatdowns to fulfill a prophecy.

Right off the bat, there's an arena fight of "the best of their generation", though judging by these clowns, that generation must've been a total bust. And the "arena" is just a glorified 15-foot-wide circle with maybe 10 spectators sitting on tree trunks. Yeah, it all looks pretty pathetic.

Warrior Boudiccu defeats significantly bigger, bulkier dudes and gets chosen to wield the twin swords, which were definitely ordered off Wish. As the "Chosen One," she's supposed to embark on a quest and compete in more dumb arena fights - except she immediately loses the rusty katanas along the way. Yikes.

The other warrior, White Arrow, also hits the road and kicks major ass along the way. The women in this film go all out in the fight scenes. The punches and kicks look skilled and powerful, with acrobatic flips and all the bells and whistles. The men? Just cannon fodder.

What else do we get? Wehrmacht gear, random musical numbers, assassins, wannabe ninjas, and one guy seriously waving around a Bat'leth. A nice piece of fantasy post-apocalyptic trash to cleanse your brain in between.
