Red Shadow

Rating:
Summary: a good ninja movie
Review: Red Shadow tells the story of three ninja who grew up together (2 guys and 1 girl, obviously both guys are in love with the girl....) and face several risky missions together. In one of these, the girl gets killed, leaving both guys in despair. Anyway the two old friends will still get enough strenght to fight together once again for the final battle.

This is a nice movie with some fine special effects and a few lyrical moments in between the fighting scenes. The latter are not bad but are mostly of the "wire-jutsu" kind, so if you don't pay too much attentiions to impossible jumps and kicks (and also to dressing: I don't believe XVI century female ninjas wore leather mini-skirts!), you'll surely enjoy it.

Summary: New Age Kung Fu
Review: this movie has a very good story to it, full of love, despair, and brotherhood, like a classic kung fu movie. Also with Red Shadow you get a few funny parts, which will leave you laughing and saying , "What the heck?". Because the movie is newer you of course get the special effects which foretunatly are not cheesy in this movie. The fight scenes are impressive and come with some oddly placed rock and beat in the backround. All in all a must see.
