#ENTER THE NINJA TORRENT FULL#
Reviewed by ma-cortes 6 / 10 Gripping and violent tale with full of noisy action and fights in a comic-book style.Ī westerner young ninja named Casey Bowman (Scott Adkins) is trained since chidhood to be a deadly Ninja, studying Ninjutsu in Japan, then he is asked by the Master (Igawa) to return to New York to protect the legendary Yoroi Bitsu, an armored chest that contains the weapons of the last Koga Ninja. NINJA isn't perfect, and the flaws that do exist are pretty big, but it's more honest and exciting than the much bigger NINJA ASSASSIN. Just watch out for Miles Anderson as a scenery-devouring cult leader and all-around bad guy. Ihara's bad guy is readily menacing, while Mika Hijii (ALIEN VS NINJA) proves to be a delightful female sidekick/love interest/damsel in distress. The cast is about average for a DTV martial arts flick Adkins is slightly wooden but an absolutely brilliant fighter, so you forgive him. Of course, Isaac Florentine has directed loads of these things and I suspect he's starting to get rather good at this. But the bits in the dojo early on are very good, and the highlight comes during a chase-cum-train-fight about halfway through which is really well handled. I actually enjoyed the non-ninja stuff here more than the ninja fights, which are a little silly and sometimes use cheesy special effects. Of course, various bad guys are soon after him.Īnyway, don't worry about the story focus instead on the plentiful action, both ninja and otherwise. The story for this one is simplistic and predictable in equal measure, with Adkins playing a "white ninja" (following in the footsteps of Franco Nero, Christopher Lambert and Richard Harrison!) who's tasked to protect a chest of rare weapons. NINJA is a low-budget but kick-ass action vehicle for British martial arts star Scott Adkins, who continues to wow with his own unique brand of high-kicking, tough-punching martial arts fighting.
