Overview

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.

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....!
