Truly Dreadful Film

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

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

For starters ignore the glowing reviews.The fact is that this is the best film from Adkins since Boyka II -- and we all know that at the time he did SHADOW, the Boyka III was still in development -- yet at the end of the day, when the points are tallied, this is still not a very satisfying movie.And don't take my word for it. Look at the IMDb score and the number of members who voted. Clearly there is slight difference of opinion between the IMDb membership and the "front run" popular reviews saying this is the best thing since sliced bread.As I said, it is a step in the right direction. Since the last Undisputed (Boyka II) Adkins' agents have treated him like a punching bag, throwing him into all kinds of odd roles and odd films -- even some that (gasp!) are purely dramatic, where the only beating that takes place is when you punch out the friend that recommended it.Adkins is game and he tries. But David White's script is a mess. Off the top we kill the pretty pregnant wife of Adkins' character. OK, I am all in favor of getting to the point .. but there is no point. The rest of the film rambles like an old streetcar, toying with themes of revenge. family honor, anger management, and ninjitsu. As for the "big reveal" at the end, I will not dignify it by explaining it and neither should you.Boyka 2016 awaits. And no one needs it more than Adkins himself.

Scott Adkins is back as the ninja warrior. It's still another cheesy movie, but I personally thought it was fun to watch. Even if the story didn't make much sense sometimes and some parts just seemed random. This is a low budget action movie, but it's still a good one. It's just cool to watch Scott Adkins do what he does best. And to watch a real martial artist in action that knows what he is doing. So yeah, it's has a passable story for a martial arts action movie and the fights are cool to watch and choreographed excellently. Even when it comes to the cinematography you know exactly what is going on, despite the quickness. Sure, there are some parts where the bad guys could have easily killed or apprehended the main character. But it's a movie and it was too distracting. Overall this is a cool martial arts ninja movie. Even if the ninja and stealth elements aren't really shown much.6/10

OK for action because of main Actor. But Director is really bad at cheating. He doesn't even know how to create the area of his story line. No need to say, he has never been there as well. I am from that country. It's a total abusing my country. Almost nothing is correct in the scenes. I repeat Mr. so-called Director, Isaac Florentine. What a shame! You should not be in movie business. If I could report to some authorized parties, I would request to ban or remove this movie. It is just a bad cheating movie. Sorry for my words. Dear IMDb board, Please do not post it if my review is against your regulations. Just bear in mind this movie is giving wrong information about a country. That's it.

OK, well first of all, The Plot review doesn't do this movie justice. It sounds like it is in now way connected to the original storyline. Which it kind of isn't. The movie could have been longer and recapped the first movie better and had better character development. Having one student say he was present when Casey sparred with Matsuzaka big deal... The fact that the greatest Ninja clan was reduced to a Dojo instructor was also heart breaking much more than the death of his wife lol. Here's where the plot doesn't make sense and the hero is an idiot. In every martial arts or any movie now that you think of it, a successful bad guy/warlord/drug dealer/ mafia/kingpin whatever you want to call him; either wouldn't bother himself with small peanuts or has a vendetta against the whole rival and wants them all wiped off the earth and usually saves the boss for last. Just like Casey went after the boss last, so wouldn't the kingpin have killed tried to wipe Casey's wives clan out first and save her for last? wouldn't there been more bodies instead of her mysterious death? why would a kingpin in a different country send someone to kill his wife out of nowhere and having looked at the house would have seen signs of a husband eg: mens shoes, wedding picture etc. why would you leave a husband alive. Now fast forward to the rea bad guy. He said the kingpin taught all his men to kill with the barbed wire whip. after killing what 30 of them and none having a whip at all wouldn't something register in your brain as fishy? not even the number one henchman had one! only the kingpin himself! which also brings the point where did your buddy get one from to stage the murders? oh he's a ninja turned dojo owner too... go figure! OK now to the racist comment people here and on amazon. point one: if everyone in the movie didn't know martial arts then it would be a shitty movie and he would just wipe their asses off the face of the earth. that's not racistly assuming all Asians know martial arts, that's making the movie exciting vs boring. point two: No one said all Asians are bad. He is looking for a drug-lord, so obviously he is looking in a bad part of town where crime and assholes are, so its safe to assume there are thugs, drug dealers, mafia and such. point 3: to the guy who said a white guy banging Asians and making them his bitch. Obviously you didn't see the first movie. He was the number one student of the master and fought against the other number one student and he married the masters daughter. when the master died he became the new master and keeper of the secrets. which he abandoned in this movie... for some horrible reason. a better plot would have been the real badguy took over the clan because he and his wife ran away to have a family, the drug-lord was killing off the members clan in search of them and then he begs for their return and when they do return he assassinates the wife and a few more clansman and blames it on the kingpin. I should write these screenplays! in fact any producers out there I have quite a few awesome plot ideas of my own! All in all the fight scenes were amazing! I would love to see a behind the scenes video to see how much wire work was involved and how much was real! Kane Kosugi and Scott Atkins were both impressive! I am glad to see martial arts movies making a return outside of Hong Kong!
