Scott Adkins stars as Casey, an American orphan who was brought up in a Japanese ninja school. When his disgraced former schoolmate and old rival Masazuka (Tsuyoshi Ihara) is hired by an evil organisation to steal a sacred box of ancient Ninja weapons, Casey must use the skills his master has taught him over the years to protect the sacred box and stop his rival in his tracks.

It’s fully sufficient as an appetizer before Undisputed 3. I give it points for Scott Adkins playing the lead role and a good guy to boot, but I take some off for not presenting a single kick from another dimension, which is incomprehensible to mere mortals. Never mind the plot. The eighty minutes follow a template that pays an honest tribute to a Belgian karate fighter and never bores for a second. Overall, after this, I got the impression that Issac Florentine is worth more than "d-2-DVD" production. With a proper budget and a stronger script, it would have stood up well amongst the A-list competition. He’s unmatched in the B-movie genre at the moment. And now, Boyka, into the ring, please.

A terribly cool film, where western meets eastern. The martial arts are presented quite well, but it's not something exceptional. Scott Adkins is quite a badass, but in my opinion, he is better suited for more American-style fights. Not to mention that the story and its villains are terribly cliché. It's almost painful to watch some parts of what is being performed here. I definitely imagine ninjas differently, and that title doesn't really fit. Yes, there is a ninja here, but their tricks...
