ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

dilbertsuperman This movie has great style, fantastic visuals and hot sex scenes with a beautiful woman. It falters at the end as the story twists get a little bit extreme.. but all in all, I would recommend this movie just because it has that good old Russian feel to it.. big, impressive, powerful, bleak and brutal and at the same time beautiful in the old tradition of tragic beauty.PLOT: A guy who can make a blade shoot out of his hand at will (not a spoiler since they show it in the trailer) when he is REALLY mad at you tries to have a girlfriend.. he discovers that after you kill one person with your sword hand, it's kind of hard to keep a stable relationship....Sword boy is on the planet for a reason.. he just doesn't know what it is.. YET.Lots of dark street fights with guys unexpectedly getting filleted creatively.RUSSAIN w ENG subtitles.. slick worth a watch..

Don_Bruno It was a very interesting movie for me, and I am definitely one of those who likes it, but i can easily see why some people don't like it, there isn't a whole lot of dialog in the movie and the main character rarely speaks and when he does it's usually very short spoken, however the movie speaks volumes visually as with allot of the new Russian films coming out cinematography and how the shots were set up where quite impressive...the storyline is not your typical one: Action / Romance / Sci-Fi / Thriller. and it very well can be all of that but essentially it is a story about a man who kills those who stand in his way, he is cursed with a kind of wolverine-esquire problem a retractable sword under his skin, I know it sounds silly but once you get with it becomes a irrelevant in the process of the story, it essentially is a story about the bloke who has the power and has used it to hurt allot of people, you understand why he doesn't say much and why he is much of a loner, and how hard it is for him to make intimate connections and he becomes a mysterious and an interesting person...the movie was far from perfect, but at the same time by some odd reason kind of wicked and cool...for those of you that like to experience different types of movies and don't mind them being different this one might be worth a check out...

Mikomi Jade A woman borough a boy to this world and was alone. They both were alone because a boy had a gift and a curse in one package - he was capable of withdrawing sword from his arm. There was always a wound on his wrist in the cause of this "gift" - the wound of the deadliest weapon inside of his body. First he kills his constantly drunk stepfather who hurts his mom every time. Then he grows up and decides to find his real father. Just as simple as all the time for a superhero - he reaches the justice....but the society decides this justice is not necessary and dangerous which is indeed right 'cause it is not like in Hollywood movies that the character does not try to kill anyone - Sasha (he is the main hero acted by Artem Tkachenko) kills if the person who in his opinion deserves to die but gets blames from authorities and runs. In such a runaway from authorities and Mafia he meets a girl (acted by Chulpan Hamatova) and falls in love with her. Everything else is to be watched...not told. Be aware that this film is more about feelings and emotions but not about actions. This film is full of pain of the main character full of him and his vision of life.

Anastasia "Mechenosets" is one of the most beautiful romantic movies I've ever seen. The name of the film can be translated in English as "the sword-bearer". The main hero (Sasha) was born with one exceptional ability: he can protect himself with the extremely sharp sword which emerges from under the skin in his hand. At first side he can seem one more foolish superhero from the senseless movie about unreal events and feelings. But it is not about Mechenosets. He hardly can be even called the anti-hero. I think he is just a person who lost the purport in his life and faith in good, justice and love. In his life he has never met someone who could understand and love him (except his mother). Every his step is stained with blood; he takes revenge on everybody for his gift which became a damnation for him. And suddenly he meets her. She doesn't need the idle talks and explanations. She loves him for what he is. She doesn't care what he did. The fact that he's next to her is more important than anything else. But soon she finds out his secret: he kills two people (her ex-boyfriend and his bodyguard) to protect her before her very eyes. Even after that she couldn't escape her feelings. They try to run but it's hart to hide. Finally they have a serious car accident. He is caged; she is in a mental hospital. They don't know anything about each other, but she believes that he'll save her. He surmounts a lot of obstacles but finally finds her. They run again but they aren't invulnerable. She is wounded, she needs a rest, but police almost catch them. He doesn't know what to do, they drive into a corner, and then his sword begins to cut down trees, helicopter around them, but there is no need for it, because she is already dead in his arms, and he is the lonely person in the whole world again.
