Witchblade
NYPD Detective Sara Pezzini's main goal in life was to bring down Tommy Gallo, the hitman who killed her father, her best friend, and eventually her partner. While chasing down one of Gallo's thugs, she acquires the Witchblade, an enchanted armored glove once used by Joan of Arc that deflects bullets, extends into bladed weapons, produces visions, and neatly compacts itself into a bracelet.

Boring
How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Let me start out by saying that this series started out okay. I thought as the episodes progressed the show got stupider and stupider, such as the everything's a dream bit. I can't say I cared too much for the cast minus Yancy Butler who I thought was fantastic and Anthony Cistaro who pulled off playing a cold, intelligent Nazi was brilliant. It's not that the rest of the cast was over the top bad. They just never got their chance to expand too heavily. Hopefully the film will be better. I hope they go with an all new cast.I also read about Eric Etebari's (who played Nottingham) film called "The Dreamless" which stars Eric Etebari, Anthony Cistaro, David Chokachi and Lazar Rockwood. Aside from starring as the lead actor, Eric is also producing. This seems far coincidental to me as it definitely seems like Eric is pulling all the strings on this film and got his buddies to act in it as well.
Young New York detective Sara Pezzini (Yancy Butler) is a chosen one. Clichéd, but true. In a pursuit of finding a murderer of her best childhood friend Sara gains a mystical amulet called the Witchblade, which has a ability of protecting her and arming her with a huge blade. At the same time a mysterious man is deeply interested about all this."Witchblade" is a TV movie based on a comic book by same name. As for TV movies go, Withcblade is actually quite enjoyable, though the smaller budget does show albeit the actors do carry the cliché ridden story quite well. This movie apparently was an introductory for a TV series with the same name and cast and that actually does show. It basically introduces all the characters and ends into a notion, that this all will continue and apparently it did.This movie has some rather silly cuts and segments in it, like from some reason, probably just to add some more length into it, there are couple of short clips of Sara's untextured 3D model running. And some rather annoying music video style cuts and segments and a very, very silly training montage. I could go on and on, but I wont.When you look under the bottom line, you'll get okay TV action movie. The script, even though not stellar, does work reasonably well, the actors are okay and the action is entertaining enough. And from a TV-series promo it's actually hard to ask anything more.
The last comic book I picked up was "Classics Illustrated", and seeing "Witchblade" got me into my nearest comic book store to see what I've been missing. Just like a true Repubican, the last reviewer painted me with a VERY WIDE brush...and I'm not impressed! Yancy Butler got a raw deal from TNT due to her rehab stint (see Robert Downey, Jr. for the obviously gender-based bias), and still kicked Jessica Alba's still-not-so-good-looking butt! (see -- if you can stomach it -- "Dark Angel" for proof)! I've just about worn out my TV-recorded VHS tapes, and I'm sure any DVD would have extras that would grab my attention as well as the series itself did!
Witchblade is one of the Greatest TV shows out there! The superior workmanship on this show has produced Kick Butt Side effects, Great Set Design, Acting is Tremendous and a Journey into History Phylosophy Psychology and Science! It has Art and the Music is Rocking! Ya gotta see it! Kenneth Irons Ian Nottingham Jake McCarty Danny Woo Gabriel Bowman and the Great Sara Pezzini lead you into a world of Intrique and Mystery!
