Unfortunately, the film that supports Lorenzo Lamas is never that good, an anonymous title whose ambition seems to lie no further beyond filling the 50 cent rent bins in video stores. In fact, for something that bills itself as an action film, The Swordsman is surprisingly short on action. Some swordplay does eventually arrive but it is hard to get around the slow pace and the indifferently developed plot to appreciate this. Not much makes sense half the time – Lorenzo Lamas seems to gain knowledge out of thin air and his clairvoyant abilities ultimately have no connection to anything that happens. Lamas gives the performance that is expected of him – he looks handsome with his long hair tied back in a pony-tail, while wisely keeping his mouth shut and letting his looks do all the speaking he needs to. A frustratingly dull film.

The Swordsman should not be confused with the Hong Kong flying swordsman film Swordsman (1990). Lorenzo Lamas repeated the same role in a sequel Gladiator Cop (1994).
