Like a medium rare steak, with fries, coleslaw and an ice cold beer, Ninja Shadow of a Tear is simple but satisfying.
This martial arts action flick is reminiscent of 80's and 90's martial arts films. Its not trying to be clever. Instead, its fast paced, entertaining and fun.
Scott Atkins martial arts are top shelf and this flick gives him the opportunity to literally "let loose". Indeed, the cast, which includes the son of a famous 80's martial arts action star and extra's, all appear to have above average martial arts skills. This lends this film polish and flair, that shows in the final product. Fight scenes that dominate this film, are crisply choreographed, a little inventive and fast paced.
In summary, a great 80's,90's style martial arts action film, that's entertaining from beginning to end. Keep em coming....!
