"Ninja" does something that is hard to do.... it updates something from the past but still retains a nostalgic feel about it. Sometimes it felt like it was 1985 and I was a kid sitting on the living room floor eating popcorn and watching American Ninja. But then I see Scott Adkins do an amazing aerial kick and I know I'm not watching Michael Dudikoff. "Ninja" takes a similar formula and story from those ninja movies from the '80s and combines it with a hard-hitting and acrobatic fighting style seen in today's martial arts movies. This movie was a lot of fun and if you grew up watching ninja and martial arts movies in the 80s like me, you will definitely enjoy it.

Yesterday I saw a NINJA. I am very impressed to see this flick. Scott Adkins's performance is very good. Action sequences are also impressive. The story is just OK. This movie is much better than NINJA ASSASSIN in every term. Film location is good. The script is also good. The music suits the film. The Best thing in the movie is Scoot Adkins's action and performance. All the stunt's seances are original. The plot of the story is also good. Train seances are very good and impressive. Makeup is good. The direction of the movie is very good. We can compare the movie with the kill bill. The action sequences did without CGI technology.
