Reviews & ratings
An over the top Ninja action film with visceral bloody scenes. Humdrum story but goofily entertaining. Raizo has been trained by the Ozunu clan to be a Ninja assassin since childhood but has turned his back on them. Raizo teams up with a Europol investigator Mika to go after his former master to get revenge for the killing of his friend.
