Granted, RED SHADOW is not suppose to exist in any actual historical timeline. Still, it employs the Ninjas and the Samurai in its story, so one expects some adherence to history. But RED SHADOW has its own agenda, and while the film's fantastical elements is quite inspired and well done, one can't help but get the feeling that it feels a tad silly. Maybe that was the point, but I'm not sure if "silly" works in a movie that has so much violence and death.
And yet, RED SHADOW is quite entertaining, albeit in a fluff sort of way.
