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 terribly cool film, where western meets eastern. The martial arts are presented quite well, but it's not something exceptional. Scott Adkins is quite a badass, but in my opinion, he is better suited for more American-style fights. Not to mention that the story and its villains are terribly cliché. It's almost painful to watch some parts of what is being performed here. I definitely imagine ninjas differently, and that title doesn't really fit. Yes, there is a ninja here, but their tricks...
