    In this proficient action thriller, video favourite Christopher Lambert plays a businessman based in the Far East who becomes the target of a crazed ninja gang after witnessing a murder. Help comes in the form of a modern-day samurai warrior (Yoshio Harada) who's looking to settle a centuries-old feud. Director JF Lawton ensures there's plenty of swordsmanship and violent action scenes, while the performances are a cut above the norm for this sort of thing.

    A weary Samurai, black clad Ninja and a bewildered Christopher Lambert - B movie perfection!

    I knew this film would be good right from the start, when it opened with fantastically atmospheric Taiko drumming. Then somehow it got better! Lambert is on a business trip to Japan, and takes the opportunity to spend the night with a beautiful but mysterious woman. He promptly witnesses her murder by John Lone's attractively evil ninja. On the run, he seeks assistance from a ninja expert of Samurai descent who has his own reasons for wanting to confront Lone. Excellent acting and pacing, combined with some smart dialogue, help ornament some of the best set pieces you will find in a film of this genre - worth renting for the bullet train massacre alone!

    Brilliantly Entertaining.

    The story is award worthy, the acting is perfect and the fight scenes incredible. Definately worth a watch. If you like ninja/samaurai or martial arts films you'll love this.
