Everything modern blockbuster spectacles lack: precision, grace, intimacy, stakes, and genuine, gritty excitement.

Overall, Ninja II is a solid entry in Scott Adkins’ career with good fights and a few emotions allowing him to stretch his acting muscles here and there throughout the film.

Rated: 4/5

The Last Thing I See

"Ninja: Shadow of a Tear" owns its pure, old-school aesthetic, and creates a modern B-movie classic.

As good a martial arts film as we've seen since 2003's Ong-bak.

If you can forgive the narrative scenes, there is plenty here for fans of old fashioned, one-man-army action movies.

Una típica película de accion clase B de los 80 con todos sus clichés pero filmada en el siglo 21. Y eso que para muchos puede llegar a sonar a defecto es su mayor virtud, la ya repetida trama de venganza con peleas cada 5 minutos, efectos prácticos pero bastante fantasiosos (por ejemplo la escena donde le corta la cabeza a una cobra con la espada), todo llevado a cabo por actores que también saben artes marciales y hacen todas sus escenas de riesgo despierta un factor nostálgico importante para los que vivimos toda la época pre internet. Grata sorpresa.

A top quality martial arts actioner with the always excellent Adkins on top form in both terms of acting and remarkable martial arts prowess. Great stuff.

If you love martial arts movies like Ong Bak, IP man or the Raid or Raid 2 the Ninja movies with Scott Adkins are a must. Scott Adkins has some of the best martial arts action sequences in his movies. Definitely one of the best martial artists I've ever seen

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Solid B-movie thanks mostly to Scott Adkins superb martial arts prowess and fight scenes. The plot and acting are nothing to write home about but the action is fun, and if you catch it on Tubi or Pluto, definitely not a waste of time.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Ninja 2 joins the club of sequels that are better then the original film. This film has it all, classic 80s action with solid story and writing. Scott Atkins is always top notch with the fight scenes and this film is no exception. If you're a fan of 80s action and martial arts films like Enter the Ninja then I think you'll enjoy Ninja 2.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
