The movie has a great look - the Ninja costumes are incredible with black armor and leather. The gymnastic style martial art feats are amazing. The humorous style reminded me of Ninja Turtles. Picture Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as humans in black ninja costumes and you have an idea at the kind of playful comedy banter and rivalry there is between the characters. I really enjoyed this one. I would like to see other work by this writer and director. I would even love to see a sequel to this film. If you are looking for a serious film about ninjas then this is probably not the one for you, but if you are looking for a light-hearted, fresh, humorous film on the subject then see Red Shadow now.
