Review of Ninja: Shadow of a Tear (2013) by Al S — 18 Mar 2014
The best martial-arts action picture since The Raid. It's a terrifically old-school fight movie that has a the perfect blend of revenge, martial arts and suspense. It's way better than the original film, it's not as rushed and does not have a comic book feel to it.
Director, Isaac Florentine crafts an ultra-stylish and explosively thrilling action classic. One of the best action movies of this era hands down. The fight sequences are so authentic and well done, they pack real punch to them and show the film makers and cast have real love and respect for the arts.
A heart-pounding and adrenaline-pumping action-packed thriller that you will love if your a fan of martial arts movies. An edge of your seat thrill-ride that explodes with suspense, dazzle and sheer spectacle.
It's literally an action movie knockout. Scott Adkins gives a great and gritty performance, he proves once again why he is one of the true action kings. Adkins movements are just incredible, no one moves like him and pays great tribute to the likes of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
It's epic action poetry in motion.
