It's a simple project with none since of telling a story! The acting is trouble the direction is awful the scenario is bad the costumes are bad
It shouldn't be a movie
I really loved the martial art choreography. Cecily, according to the birthdate was 41 when she made this movie, she directed, produced, and I guess wrote it. I found it mesmerizing although some of the lines were a bit corny. Cecily, Great job!
This film has decent simple fight and keeps you watching them. The score/sound is to loud during dialogue all throughout the movie. This apocalyptic movie is to clean for its genre and the actors are both good and bad. You make the call but you will see. The camera work is a lot of handheld, which makes the movie not enjoyable to watch. Especially during simple steady shots and the editting should of used longer shots etc. The main character is good at the her physical parts and the story is not original and no major feeling of caring about the characters. This would be great back in the 80s, but with todays technology and advances in independent films. It is a good effort. With a better backstory and plot the movie would have been better and longer.
There were babes and there were blades so it delivers on its title. I found the babes to be babely and the blades to be bladey. The acting is what you'd for a low budget film called Babes with Blades but the fight scenes were fun and I liked that it actually shows you the action unlike big budget productions that always do tight shots with quick shaky cuts so you can't tell the actors aren't actually doing any choreography.
It makes me wish stunt women like Zoe Bell or even Cecily Fay would be the new Captain Marvel or leading female superhero in the next big budget Marvel schlockfests so that at least the action scenes wouldn't have to be pure CGI and stunt performers, Anyway, if you're looking for a movie to have a few drinks to with your geeky friends than this movie will serve you with some silly fun and cool fight scenes while people cosplay.

The title "Babes with Blades" is obviously movie "clickbait", but I hoped for at least some fun, but cheesy action scenes and some strong, beautiful women wielding swords. There were women, though I'd only count one of them as beautiful (The striking Yennis Cheung). And only one or two more as attractive. The lead actress, Cecily Fay, had a few good moves, but nothing particularly interesting. The fact that she is apparently a fight coordinator and stunt actor is pretty surprising considering how uninspired and dull the fight scenes are. The script was worse than I expected, but again not surprising once I realized that the Fay wrote it as well as directed. All in all it seems like a vanity project that she somehow managed to rope other people into with promises of beer money I assume. Only giving it a "2" because the absolutely outrageous overacting of the character "Sef" had me rolling. Even watching it "free" on Amazon Prime I felt robbed. Do yourself a favor and stay far away.
