This one is a bit dated but probably had a fair budget in its day. Not exactly a blockbuster but it has classic Christopher Lambert in his element – this may be his best ever movie. It has a Ninja/Samurai theme throughout, with a decent quality of acting all round, thus is consistently entertaining for those who are keen on this genre. Not a bad plot although it could have been a bit more creative. Still, it’s a decent film for those who haven’t seen it and are into this type of movie generally. I’d rate it a 7.5/10 alongside movies like Jet Li’s The Master which is a good comparison because it has a seemingly similar budget, a similar quality of acting / investment in cast, similar input on plot, similar year of production and all round similar style and quality of movie with the exception that one is about kung fu and one ninjutsu/samurai so if you like one you’ll probably like the other too.
