Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

adonis98-743-186503 A westerner named Casey, studying Ninjutsu in Japan, is asked by the Sensei to return to New York to protect the legendary Yoroi Bitsu, an armored chest that contains the weapons of the last Koga Ninja. If you love Scott Adkins from those awesome Undisputed movies you will not be disappointed by Ninja is action packed and it moves really fast like literally this film is really fast especially all those punches and kicks that the bad guys get in the face by Adkins also Masazuka was a pretty cool villain and i love it when he went against Casey really great film and a love letter to the 80's and 90's and you won't be disappointed and it should be way higher in this list.

Leofwine_draca NINJA is a low-budget but kick-ass action vehicle for British martial arts star Scott Adkins, who continues to wow with his own unique brand of high-kicking, tough-punching martial arts fighting. The story for this one is simplistic and predictable in equal measure, with Adkins playing a "white ninja" (following in the footsteps of Franco Nero, Christopher Lambert and Richard Harrison!) who's tasked to protect a chest of rare weapons. Of course, various bad guys are soon after him.Anyway, don't worry about the story; focus instead on the plentiful action, both ninja and otherwise. I actually enjoyed the non-ninja stuff here more than the ninja fights, which are a little silly and sometimes use cheesy special effects. But the bits in the dojo early on are very good, and the highlight comes during a chase-cum-train-fight about halfway through which is really well handled. Of course, Isaac Florentine has directed loads of these things and I suspect he's starting to get rather good at this.The cast is about average for a DTV martial arts flick; Adkins is slightly wooden but an absolutely brilliant fighter, so you forgive him. Ihara's bad guy is readily menacing, while Mika Hijii (ALIEN VS NINJA) proves to be a delightful female sidekick/love interest/damsel in distress. Just watch out for Miles Anderson as a scenery-devouring cult leader and all-around bad guy. NINJA isn't perfect, and the flaws that do exist are pretty big, but it's more honest and exciting than the much bigger NINJA ASSASSIN.

gerry barnaby Film Reviewer I agree with some review that this film does take the concept of the old America ninja film's & makes it better for todays martial art film's & with Scott Adkins playing the lead role make's the martial arts fight scene so much better.What this film does as well, is capture the true beauty of Japanese martial arts & the way of a samurai fighting with the sword. It also capture the culture of tradition, discipline & training of Japanese martial arts which really set a realistic tone for the film.I find this film brilliant done those who say that Scott Adkins can't act seriously haven't got a clue in acting because you give any actor the right role, that where the acting skills shine through with the right storyline & character.This is a brilliant made film, the fight scene are amazing with Ariel combat kicks special the one scene with Scott Adkins really show homage to the great Bruce lee with taking on a lot of guy on at once just one hell of a brilliant fight scene.This is one film I recommend you watch if you loved the 80s America ninja or grow up on martial arts of that theme this one wont disappoint.

S_Craig_Zahler this is a warning to fight film fans who are looking for good martial arts. adkins is very talented...but (as in undisputed II and {dacascos} drive), most of the fights are sped up or slowed down.there are about 2 good minutes of fighting towards the end when he is attacked by a crew of dudes in the evil group. otherwise, the ego/stylistic hijinks of isaac florentine get in the way of the real time delivery of choreography (or cover up things that weren't actually working on the set). and lots of bad looking cg gore only adds to the overall feeling that this piece is trying to be like big budget Hollywood, which is not an admirable attempt either. other than a few blood capsules, it looks like none of the actors stained their clothes making this picture-- almost all of the bloodletting is a digital add on.i'm still waiting for adkins to get his own stellar showcase piece like michael jai white's 'blood and bone' and donnie yen's 'ip man' & 'flash point' or jeff wincott in 'martial outlaw.' whenever that gets made, it won't be directed by speed 'em up florentine.
