    Cynthia's best

    I've Seen this movie recently and i must say i was really impressed with Cynthia's skills not only as a martial artist but her growing skill in acting.

    Ok she might not be an A list star, but she surely deserves more credit

    then people give her.The best bit about this movie is her acting which by far is her best work.I recommend this movie to all Cynthia fans and anyone who likes a good martial arts movie.

    It can't touch her work in Hong Kong, but is still entertaining

    Cynthia Rothrock is very sexy in this action/revenge flick. She plays a psychologist that is the victim of a home invasion that left her sister and nephew dead. She ended up surviving the encounter due to her superior martial arts skills. There definitely is a lot of fighting and is quite action packed. The film is cheap and on the lower budget scale of things. The fight choreography is still pretty good and is better than similar movies with male action stars. If you are an action fan Sworn To Justice should certainly be good enough. There is nothing with this movie that really blew me away, but it's nice to see Cynthia Rothrock play a role that is erotic, but she still beats everyone up.

    Cynthia at her sexy best!

    This is widely regarded as Cynthia Rothrocks best American movie, from director Paul Maslak. I can also safely say that it is. Despite a ludicrous plot which has Cynthia developing psychic powers when he sister and nephew are brutally murdered, the film is fast paced, fun and filled with neatly choreographed action. Not to mention Rothrock in her sexiest role yet. The film is wildly inconsistent with a comical action scene when Rothrock foils a store robbery, complete with sill sound effects as large men are made fools of. Also a very steamy martial arts display in a skimpy negligee from the Queen of flying fists. What helps though is a good cast helping Rothrock, who also gives her best performance, although that does not say a lot! Also starring is Kurt McKinney known primarily from No Retreat No Surrender. Then there is good support from Oscar winner Brad Dourif and Mako.

    The film has plenty of nice action and never gets boring while there is a good production value to this, especially compared to many other of Rothrock's movies. Standout scenes include the sexy Cynthia taking on several large men with some masking tape and defeating a warehouse full of bad guys. Cynthia is unbelievably sexy in this and the film overall stands out as one of her best achievements. ***

    Great if you like to see Cynthia Rothrock in a vigilante action & sci-fi film

    Vigilante martial arts & sci-fi film. Professional woman is attacked by burglars, which causes her to somehow acquire psychic powers. She uses her new powers to become a vigilante by night while being a forensic prosecution witness by day. Not exactly plausible, but okay if you like sci-fi martial arts action with Cynthia Rothrock kicking ass. Mild (tasteful) topless Rothrock love scene thrown in, perhaps to balance chop suey with her feminine side.

    she is very sexy in this but...

    2 days ago i've seen no retreat no surrender 2 and i was really impressed by the queen of martial arts performance so i decided to watch sworn to justice after this.what can i tell about this movie is that 'lady dragon'is very sexy in this and has 2 sex scenes and the fight scenes are decent (not spectacular)but too short unfortunately,the end is very disappointed, male co-star beat the chief villain instead our favorite female.the story of this movie is mediocre but the performance of cynthia in this is decent so i think that fans of this lady will enjoy this movie but others no.but sworn to justice is much better than outside the law for example but i expected more from this movie which is supposed to be her best American movie.***/*****

    • Trivia
      In an online interview, Cynthia Rothrock claimed that Walter Koenig terrorized the set while filming. While Koenig reportedly was respectful towards the performers, he was belligerent towards director Paul Maslak and ranted often about how unprofessional Maslak supposedly was.
    • Goofs
      In front of a police detective, Cynthia dons black nylon stocking that only reach her mid-thigh. She disappears momentarily but when she returns to view, she wears a minidress that barely covers her bottom, and the stockings have magically turned into pantyhose.
    • Alternate versions
      Malaysian version censors out Rothrock's nude scene.
