Ninja

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 very cool film where Western and Eastern elements come together. The martial arts are presented quite well here, but even so, it's not something exceptional. Scott Adkins is quite cool, but in my opinion, he's more suited for American-style fights. Not to mention that the story and its villains are very clichéd. Sometimes it hurts to watch what is being shown here. I definitely imagine ninjas differently, and the title doesn't really fit with that image. Yes, there is a ninja here, but the special effects...
