There is so much blood that you can not see very well about the story in general. There are no nuances, but viscera exploding on the screen. The scenes in which there is a beating in children, in which the master clearly strikes the childhood of orphaned children, are revolting. Only for those with a strong stomach.

Need a part 2 now! Sho Kasugi is a legend in ninja movies of the 80's. So cool to see him still acting. Bring us more! The main actor ninja was awesome. The story was engaging. The fight scenes blew me away. Loved the gore. Loved the story. Don't make me wait another 20 years for a good ninja flick, make this one keep going. Not since Toshiro Mifune in Kirasawa films have I watched a character I want to keep following as much as Rain.

The first time I saw this back in 2009, I couldn't believe so few people liked it. This is an absolute action/martial arts classic. Glad people seem to coming around to it now. I can only imagine a Wachowskis backlash kicked in. -Visually amazing. -Political intrigue. -Crazy stunts/deaths/fights. -Stylistically very good. A good action 8/10.
