What happens

Sword of Vengeance (Serbian: Mač osvete) is a 2014 British-Serbian historical action film directed by Jim Weedon, his first feature film, and starring Stanley Weber, Annabelle Wallis, and Ed Skrein. Weedon's action sequences, and the overall look of the film, were inspired by samurai films. While the action sequences and Weber's performance were reasonably well received by critics, most felt the film's dialogue and overall story were subpar, with the caveat that aficionados of the genre would appreciate it far more.
