Blockade Entertainment went to Sony with a dream. \u201cWhat if,\u201d they said, \u201cwe took one of your lesser PS3 exclusive games and used old existing game assets to make a big budget movie?\u201d Sony said \u201clet\u2019s do it!\u201d and fished around in their couch cushions for enough money to slap this together on the cheap using a third string Korean animation studio. What we have is 2014\u2019s Heavenly Sword, based on the 2007 game that no one remembered even at the time.

Nariko (Anna Torv) is an orphan part of a nomadic group of warriors tasked with protecting the \u201cHeavenly Sword,\u201d a powerful sword that is magic or something. But evil King Bohan (Alfred Molina, NOT Andy Serkis as IMDb claims. Serkis voiced him in the game) has made a pact with the Raven God and wants the sword to do evil things.

Bohan attacks the group\u2019s base (I thought they were nomadic?) and Nariko is tasked with finding her long lost brother Loki (Thomas Jane), who is the chosen one and can use Heavenly Sword powers to defeat Bohan. Nariko goes on her quest with Kai (Ashleigh Ball) a violent little girl who turns out to be her sister. Also it turns out her dad is the group\u2019s leader Master Shen (Nolan North) who hates girls.
