Plots(1)
It remains as true today as it did in the days of the ancient Samurai: the weapons of the Ninja hold legendary powers for both good men and evil. The deadly weapons of the last Koga Ninja have now been entrusted to an American Ninjutsu student studying in Japan. Commanded by his Sensei to return to New York and protect the weapons at all cost, he must defeat the skilled Yakuza assassins hunting him and prevent the power of the weapons from falling into evil hands.

It’s fully sufficient as an appetizer before Undisputed 3. I give it points for Scott Adkins playing the lead role and a good guy to boot, but I take some off for not presenting a single kick from another dimension, which is incomprehensible to mere mortals. Never mind the plot. The eighty minutes follow a template that pays an honest tribute to a Belgian karate fighter and never bores for a second. Overall, after this, I got the impression that Issac Florentine is worth more than "d-2-DVD" production. With a proper budget and a stronger script, it would have stood up well amongst the A-list competition. He’s unmatched in the B-movie genre at the moment. And now, Boyka, into the ring, please.

A terribly cool film, where western meets eastern. The martial arts are presented quite well, but it's not something exceptional. Scott Adkins is quite a badass, but in my opinion, he is better suited for more American-style fights. Not to mention that the story and its villains are terribly cliché. It's almost painful to watch some parts of what is being performed here. I definitely imagine ninjas differently, and that title doesn't really fit. Yes, there is a ninja here, but their tricks...
