For all the haters that might be judging by the trailer alone, go watch it before you make your assumption of the movie. This was a straight action movie that has a Awesome story of honor, wisdom, betrayal and finding ones self. I was impressed on how they made everything to where it wasn't meshing all together to where you couldn't figure out what was going on while the action parts were in play. A must see for any action/ ninja/ martial arts movie lover. I honestly loved the movie it was bad to the bone!!! I would definitely go see again.

Though the movie is only 99 min, there is enough action, a little romance, and an intricate plot to fit in seamlessly. The movie, like any good one, picks up speed as it goes along and the action is absolutely delicious. Lots of gore and diesel moves by a man in peak physical condition. Pretty much everything in this movie is believable in terms of an action flick with a couple of very well done 3G flashes (i.e. ninja stealth moves-you'll understand when you see it). All in all, you'll want some more but you will be satisfied.

people who haven't even watched the movie yet had written reviews of how they aren't GOING to watch it or just voted so-so without any legitimate reasons. Overall it had good action scenes and it kept the audience on edge somewhat. The story line/character development could have been better but it still got the main idea across. Rain's performance in this movie is a lot better than his previous movie Speed Racer plus you can ACTUALLY understand what he's saying in English. There's a bit too much of gore which makes the movie seem less realistic. Of course the romantic story is a bit lame but it's an action movie, all romantic parts in action movies are lame. Even though the background story is told in flashbacks, the movie still flows and transitions in and out of those scenes smoothly. I personally went in to watch the movie with no expectations expecting it to be somewhat of a failure but it definitely surprised me. It's not a MUST GO! but it is still worth watching.

As someone who grew up in America in the 70's and saw an occasional martial arts movie, Bruce Lee was the only game in town. This movie is the natural progression of what a Bruce Lee movie would be today in a more violent world and in an industry where blood and gore are allowed to reign supreme. The action is fast paced.visual,,sadistic in nature where the Ninja's are taught that no human life has value but their own. In the clip on this website ie; their already here,the way they make the Ninja move in the shadows by blurring the human body as they move in for the kill was awesome. If you like martial arts movies there is alot here to enjoy, if you abhor graphic bloody gore, then avoid at all costs.

I had a blast!! This movie brought the classic Ninja Action movie to life with modern-day Special FX and Extreme Martial Arts Moves. The plot was basic, because a Ninja's life is simple, and the story had to reflect that simplicity. The small bits of emotional scenes helped to highlight the fact that Ninja's are cold-blooded and mostly heartless assassins. The FX were flawless, and you felt the action as if it was right in front of you. The fight scenes were very brutal, and the choreography was amazing. If you can appreciate a good fight movie, a good action movie, or a good Ninja Movie, then this one is a must see.
