Dude, this is sweet.
If ure looking for a great action film this is it. If ure looking for a great martial arts film this is it, and if ure a fan of Christopher Lambert then this'll be right up ure street.pExcellently choreographed fight sequences and good use of proper japnese blades mixed in with a battle between ninjas and the famous Takeda clan makes this an all round gem. One of my favourites in my collection.

The Deeper Impression of Giri
Although the concept of this film could have graced any trashy Hollywood action movie - especially with the addition of famous ersatz swordsman Christopher Lambert - with inspired direction and some well underplayed acting this film has a mastery of itself and of its genre which bridges the gap between US action movies and Japanese martial arts films. pIf dissected carefully, the larger part of the plot is laughably unbelievable. It is the triumph of the direction and production that it overcomes all the usual obstacles of a Western film dealing with Eastern culture, and uses martial art film convention to present stunning action sequences and involve a lot of well place dramatic suspense.pThe film has its own world complete with some of its own philosophy, hastily gleaned from contemporary and ancient Eastern sources. The sets and costumes are authentic and carefully designed into minute detail - the weapons are especially stunning, as well as frequently used.pThis DVD I suspect will find its most appreciative audience with enthusiasts of martial art films, but its wider appeal and value is not to be under-estimated. pA stunning visual atmosphere, and highly recommended viewing.

The Hunted
This film rules!!! Nonstop action from start to finish. Excellent acting from Lambert and his co stars. Lambert is witness to a ninja assasination and is in turn hunted by the makato an evil ninja clan. He teams up with a fanatical samurai who is the sworn enemy of the ninja. As you can imagine lots of bloody sword fights and the ninja are ruthless in their pursuit of Lambert (the scene on the train being my particular blood drenched favourite). The action leads to a unforgettable climax if you have seen Highlander you will love this. A must for Lambert fans ,ninja/action film fans, buy it you won't be dissapointed.

stunning but may a bit gory for some
The story is based on the ancient war between the Ninjas and the Sumarai but now in the modern times. pThe music gives you a real feel for the setting and the acting by John Lone and Christopher Lambert superb.pI really enjoyed the film but with the use of Samurai swords some people may find some scenes a bit bloody!
