WOW, What an excellent movie that looks & feels like an 80's movie!!! This is the movie that definitely should've made the extremely talented Scott Adkins a huge Action star but for some reason it didn't? I don't understand it? Jason Statham is huge & i would say Adkins is even better (yes i like Statham) & Adkins brings such a realistic impact to his films & has such a natural every guy charm & is ridiculously watchable & entertaining in every role. Adkins was excited in, Expendables 2, he stole the show as Van Damme's main henchman & he blew me away with his Awesome action scenes in Van Damme's The Shepherd: Boder Patrol, yes he was a brutal villain again but that shows his range as he's made such a Classy Career out of playing Villains, Anti-heros & Good guys, Adkins is a class-act & a true skilled fighter & demands your attention whenever he's on screen. Adkins is truly Outstanding in films such as Avengement, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, The Debt Collector & Ninja but each performance he puts out is always great & such fun to watch. Adkins has truly carved out a fantastic Career as a CULT action hero within the more "underground" low-budget Action genre & it's great, i love the fact he's probably the only one truly putting out extremely raw, brutal & very old skook style action films, he's a generation too late but us action lovers love the guy & appreciate that what he's doing. I can't say enough about how good Scott Adkins truly is & how talented he is, he's a superb actor & probably the best fighter in seen in movies or atleast one of the all time best!!! Like a Van Damme for our times but even more brutal & one of the greatest talents to rise up from England.
NINJA is a superb Action Thriller that is drenched in 80's style & with another excellent Scott Adkins performance as American born Casey an orphan who has dedicated his life to studying the art of the Ninja & has to travel to New York City & face an enemy from his troubled past. It's a nice simple story that feels so 80's or very early 90's & often feels like a Ninja Turtles film & story & i love it for that. The fight scenes are absolutely fantastic & bloody as hell, extremely entertaining & kick-ass brutal with an Adkins is his prime & in incredible physical shape, the guy is a ripped beast & a savage warrior. The villain of this flick is a scary & extremely dangerous Ninja Assassin called, Masazuka a deadly disgraced fighter who tried to kill Adkins a few years ago but is now an expert Assassin for hire. A fantastic villain that is actually scary as he's so quick & so deadly with No MERCY. Ninja is expertly directed by Isaac Florentine who has worked with Adkins on many films such as the sequel to Ninja, The Shepherd: Border Patrol, Undisputed 2, Close Range & more, a great creative team of Actor & Director. Ninja is a stylish blast from the past with Adkins in one of his best roles & proves what a fantastic lead hero he can be & should be. Outstanding fight sequences & an exciting fast pace of thrills & action, a GEM of a B-movie & a treasure of the low-budget DTV action genre. I loved it
