Good movie but grossly overrated

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Ninja Busters is a super rare ninja movie. It's a buddy movie about two douche bags who can't get laid and then join a martial arts club. Then they uncover a drug deal gone bad and they battle the stupid ninjas..... blah blah blah. Don't expect blood and gore or dismemberment like you normally would in a ninja movie. This is a family film. Well sort of. Though it lacks the bloody violence that makes any normal person complacent, it is a rather entertaining piece of $#!+. The buddy crap works, the fights are fun and it has charm and cute $#!+! The end.

I've only seen one other Paul Kyriazi movie to date -- Death Machines -- and that film felt like it ran out of money halfway through (I'm fairly certain it did). This movie, on the other hand, starts out as a goofball buddy comedy and ends with three successive ninja vs. karate fights with dozens of extras and stuntmen. What a difference a budget makes. A good screenplay helps too: martial artist Sid Campbell in a self-penned role as a lovable klutz, is quite good for a non-actor. He's rockin' a Sonny Bono/Ringo Starr vibe here that I dug. There is some unintentional comedy here (as in a lot of b-movies), but much of the intentional comedy lands surprisingly well (a rarity in my experience with b-movies). Featuring such unique delights as hot tub dojos, breakdance-fu, mustache-and-turtleneck-fu, ninjas in scrapyards, ninjas in aerobics studios, and ninjas in Latin dance clubs. Coming soon to Blu-Ray via Exhumed Films. Mark two down on the Kyriazi filmography for me, and he's 1-1. Up next: "The Weapons of Death ," "One Way Out," and "Omega Cop."
