Watched the movie Ninja last Saturday when we were supposed to watch Surrogate but the ticket was sold out.... So I went in the cinema thinking this is the Ninja movie starring Rain from Korea.... then the movie started....
Starting scene was at a Japanese dojo where everyone shows their skills in using different weapons. And there he was, Casey (starring Scott Adkins) showing his washboard abs and also excellent martial art skills. Then there's Namiko, daughter of the Sensei, who has a crush on Casey. On the other hand, Masazuka another student in the dojo was really jealous and full of hatred towards Casey.
Until one day, the Sensei asked Casey and Masazuka to fight each other using wooden swords, and Masazuka went wild and tried to kill Casey with a real sword, then the real story began when Masazuka was kicked out from the dojo for trying to kill Casey.
There were not many climax for the movie as the storyline was quite flat. Casey and Namiko were asked to take care of the treasure chest of an ancient ninja, the Yoroi Bitsu from the falling into the hand of Masazuka, the villain.
Though the plot of the movie was a bit oh-so boring, the martial arts presented in the movie was clearly well executed and truly worth watching!!! kudos to the martial art director of the movie!
Rating： 6.5/10
