Scott Adkins may not be the most charismatic actor, but he is a very good martial artist. If we look purely at his acting, I have to say that he is not good indeed, but he also does little wrong. Why then should it be immediately said that he is terribly irritating? Tom Cruise, that's just annoying. And speaking of annoying actors, I can't take you seriously if you didn't come up with the name Ashton Kutcher yourself. The Japanese actors Tsuyoshi Ihara and Mika Hijii are certainly not wrong in my opinion.

The action scenes are very enjoyable. Certainly the four main characters clearly know what they are doing. The fights look good and, more importantly, really well shot. Every now and then I miss a good death kick, but because of the smooth fights I easily forget that the story is indeed not very much.

Entertaining action film that is never boring thanks to the short running time, the high tempo and the high amount of action.

The downside is that there isn't much depth to the characters. Especially the rivalry between the 2 ninjas should have been worked out better.

The action scenes are nicely portrayed and the costumes were liked.

Nice for 1 time.

A weak story and bad acting, that was to be expected, but I watch these kinds of movies for the action. Unfortunately that is also a bit disappointing, when I watch a ninja movie I want to see traditional fights and not firearms fights, there are too many of them in my opinion. Fortunately, there are also some normal fights and they still look nice in themselves, but the last fight only starts to look a bit like a ninja fight. Yet the choreography and camera work were not really great, Adkins is a gifted martial artist but unfortunately that did not come into its own in this film. Unfortunately. Oh yeah, the flight suit scene was ridiculously bad and should have been left out.
