Ninja: Shadow of a Tear
Fight everyone and trust no one: it's the code of survival practiced by martial-arts master Casey Bowman after his life of domestic bliss is shattered by a savage act of violence. Vowing revenge, the fearless American stealthily tracks the killer from Osaka to Bangkok to Rangoon with the help of a wise and crafty sensei. His only clues: a series of victims whose necks bear the distinctive mark of strangulation by barbed wire. Fighting to avenge as well as to survive, Casey must sharpen his razor-like responses and take his battle skills to the next level, even using deep meditation to fake his own death. His target: the sinister drug lord Goro, who is flooding the streets with deadly meth cooked at his remote jungle factory. To prepare for his ultimate confrontation, Casey must finally become an invisible warrior worthy of the name Ninja. But just when his prey is cornered, an unexpected twist shows Casey that his battle is only beginning: he truly can trust no one.

The Worst Film Ever
Admirable film.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
If you're going to watch this for the acting, don't get your hopes too high. The acting is mediocre at best, I watched it purely for the fight scenes with being an admirer of the many varied forms of Martial Arts, also being a fan of Scott Adkins. The fight scenes are pure, there are no two ways about it, this film is all about fighting. Of course every movie needs a storyline, although I think the storyline could have been completely baseless and the action scenes would still have kicked major ass. I did however make one mistake, I watched Ninja 2 before the first movie, which I shall be rectifying tonight and I am super stoked to watch some more intense fighting scenes that make you go "Aw hell no, that SOB definitely won't be getting up after that".I'm a lover of violence & I've rated this movie 9/10.. If the acting had of been even 5% more realistic it would have got top marks!
Scott Adkins is back as the ninja warrior. It's still another cheesy movie, but I personally thought it was fun to watch. Even if the story didn't make much sense sometimes and some parts just seemed random. This is a low budget action movie, but it's still a good one. It's just cool to watch Scott Adkins do what he does best. And to watch a real martial artist in action that knows what he is doing. So yeah, it's has a passable story for a martial arts action movie and the fights are cool to watch and choreographed excellently. Even when it comes to the cinematography you know exactly what is going on, despite the quickness. Sure, there are some parts where the bad guys could have easily killed or apprehended the main character. But it's a movie and it was too distracting. Overall this is a cool martial arts ninja movie. Even if the ninja and stealth elements aren't really shown much.6/10
OK for action because of main Actor. But Director is really bad at cheating. He doesn't even know how to create the area of his story line. No need to say, he has never been there as well. I am from that country. It's a total abusing my country. Almost nothing is correct in the scenes. I repeat Mr. so-called Director, Isaac Florentine. What a shame! You should not be in movie business. If I could report to some authorized parties, I would request to ban or remove this movie. It is just a bad cheating movie. Sorry for my words. Dear IMDb board, Please do not post it if my review is against your regulations. Just bear in mind this movie is giving wrong information about a country. That's it.
I've long thought that Isaac Florentine is one of the best action movie directors out there, enough that I greatly anticipate each new movie he manages to put out. I thought that the original "Ninja", which he directed, really delivered the goods. So when I heard that there was a sequel coming out, you can bet that I couldn't wait to watch it. As I type this, it's been a few minutes since I watched the movie. What did I think? Well, I will admit that the movie is not perfect. The biggest problem with the movie is the script. There's not much of a story here - there's just enough to make an excuse for an action sequence every few minutes. There are also a few minor murky parts in the plot that make for some unclear elements (though it's possible that more explanation was removed in the editing room.) The characters, from the hero to the villains, are pretty weak when it comes to character development. And the "big twist" revealed in the final few minutes is painfully predictable - you'll see it coming long before it unfolds.Despite these problems, the movie manages to redeem itself, mainly with the action sequences. The action choreography is first rate - swift, exciting, and brutal are the words to describe the mayhem, mayhem that keeps rearing its head frequently. The Asian locations add a feeling of authenticity to the movie, more so than the first movie (where Bulgarian locations were used to depict Japan and New York!) There's more eye candy than brain candy here, but sometimes you want to watch a movie where you don't have to think that much. If you are in such a mood, then this movie will more likely than not satisfy.
