Wow. This was a terrible B-film. I'm sure it was trying to capitalize on association with Ninja Assassin, which was an awesome movie, but it's not even close to being the same thing.White Guy (Scott Adkins) is raised by the sensei of the last remaining Ninja dojo in Japan. Of course, the sensei has a hot daughter who is totally in love with White Guy and, of course, there is also another student who is White Guy's physical equal but is angry because White Guy is white. Sensei banishes Angry Guy who immediately decides to start working for some lame-ass wannabe Illuminati group as an assassin-for-hire. All he really wants is the box full of ancient ninja gear that has been passed down from the dojo leaders. Sensei sends White Guy, Hot Daughter and two more unnamed cast members to New York with the box to keep it safe, which works as well as it usually does in the movies.
The plot is lame, the martial arts are meh compared to some of the crazy shit you can find nowadays, and the actors sound dubbed even though it's filmed almost completely in English. If you're a glutton for punishment, go ahead and knock yourself out. Sane people: there are better ways to spend your time.
