Anton Bitel Little White Lies lays out the tropes, techniques and weapons that would characterise all subsequent ninja films May 28, 2024 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography Shinobi no Mono: Band of Assassins is a classic jidai-geki. Yamamoto expertly utilizes the game of disguises, traps, gadgets, concealed passages, hidden stairs, and trapdoors, to offer an allegorical tale of the post-war subject’s conundrum.

Audience Member Excellent ninja film that totally lives up to its reputation. I've been looking for this disc for quite a few years but finally managed to lay my hands on it recently. It boasts of an intriguing plot filled with plot twists and excellent ninja action. Thumbs up! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting film though left slightly baffled.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A Japanese classic. If you only see one movie about ninjas, this should be it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The story wasn't too good, and I got bored or annoyed during the movie. But, the good thing about this movie is the ninja action, but you don't get to see a lot of it until past halfway through the movie. I wouldn't recommend this to watch unless you are a die-hard fan of old ninja movies. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member entertaining, but not a classic Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A very realistic take on Ninja films. All the techniques depicted are actual Ninjutsu techniques taught by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, Soké of the Togakure-ryu/ Bujinkan dojo. The Story is good and well acted by Raizo Ichikawa. This is the first in a long series of films, mostly starring Ichikawa as the hero. I hope Animeigo stays the course and releases them all, they are a real treat for Ninja fans Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
