Ninja

About This Movie

So, Ninja (2009) is an interesting blend of action and drama wrapped in this noir-ish crime underbelly. You’ve got this westerner, Casey, who finds himself back in New York to protect this ancient chest full of Koga Ninja weapons—the Yoroi Bitsu. The pacing has its moments; some scenes drag a bit but others hit hard with practical effects that give it a gritty, raw feel. The performances are a mixed bag, but the lead brings a certain intensity that pulls you in, making you feel the weight of his training. It definitely captures that sense of honor and tradition, while also showing the clash of cultures. Worth a look for anyone into martial arts cinema, though it’s not without its flaws.
