Overview
Fight everyone and trust no one: it’s the code of survival practiced by martial-arts master Casey Bowman after his life of domestic bliss is shattered by a savage act of violence. Vowing revenge, the fearless American stealthily tracks the killer from Osaka to Bangkok to Rangoon with the help of a wise and crafty sensei. His only clues: a series of victims whose necks bear the distinctive mark of strangulation by barbed wire. Fighting to avenge as well as to survive, Casey must sharpen his razor-like responses and take his battle skills to the next level, even using deep meditation to fake his own death. His target: the sinister drug lord Goro, who is flooding the streets with deadly meth cooked at his remote jungle factory. To prepare for his ultimate confrontation, Casey must finally become an invisible warrior worthy of the name Ninja. But just when his prey is cornered, an unexpected twist shows Casey that his battle is only beginning: he truly can trust no one.

Viewing Notes
Twenty-seventh movie of my FF2013 and fifth final movie of Day Six, the midnight movie. Before the fest I wasn’t planning on seeing this flick but called an audible based on buzz and time. Man, maybe the best decision I made during the festival! Holy shit is this one fucking awesome movie. So much better than I could have imagined.
Scott Adkins is so damn good. Also great to hear Isaac Florentine speak about the movie and take questions (and meet him). He’s such a cool dude. I ate an entire bowl of popcorn during this viewing because it’s that kind of movie. Love it!!
My 3rd favorite movie of the festival it’s that goddamn good. Can’t wait to see it again!
