Viewing Notes
Probably been at least 10 years since I’ve seen this. Forgot the second half of the film and wonder if I did see the whole thing since the import boot I bought was a screwed up DVD set. Anyways, this is fun throwback ninja flick with a contemporary score. Odd how it’s almost two different movies with the second half being quite different than the first half in tone. The action beats are pretty good when not overly edited. I like the movie mainly for the leads. Wish this turned into a series a films with these actors.
Funny to see Robert Scott Field have a small cameo! He’s in the credits but sadly not listed on IMDb.
