Swiftly dispensing with everything that didn't work with

Swiftly dispensing with everything that didn't work with Cannon's last Ninja outing, Revenge of the Ninja gets on with delivering an orgy of ninjutsu and everything else you could want from a film like this. By trimming the fat, taming the ninja myth-making and offering up some truly incredible set pieces full of wall-to-wall thrills, it's all given a propulsive energy by director Sam Firstenberg, whose style is tight and effective, always knowing where the focus should be. Moving at a blistering pace, the constantly bombastic martial arts battles are brilliantly choreographed and staged; crucially, they're also impeccably shot, with the camera placement and editing showcasing the skills of the performers rather than disguising them in a blitz of bewildering angles and edits. Presenting us with crazier stunts, 80s slasher levels of blood and perhaps the most important bit of ninja lore: only a Ninja can stop a Ninja. It certainly raised the bar for ninja cinema to the point where everyone and their grandmothers are getting in on the ninjutsu action. All the while promoting Sho Kosugi to the lead, a stroke of genius, as he makes for a very engaging lead in a quietly charismatic performance, which is thankfully matched by a tremendous supporting cast, including Kosugi's son Kane and a bopping soundtrack. An effortlessly blended mix of unwavering energy, charisma and brutality, Revenge of the Ninja throws all its remaining sanity out the window for some truly delirious and thoroughly ridiculous fun, making good on its title in copious spades.

Fight sequences not convincing. Well enough choreographed but very reserved. People fall down after sword strike with not even a mark on clothes. Not much "acting" going on. Story is okay, lazy writing. Could have been much more

In the opening massacre, a child gets a throwing star right in the head – that already gave me a good feeling that Cannon's second ninja film would be a step up from the first. And I wasn't disappointed! My highlight was the little boy (Sho Kosugi's real son) who also gets to fight his way through hordes of enemies. The entire fight choreography is actually well done and imaginative. And there are a few nice bursts of violence thrown in for good measure. Secretly, I'm really looking forward to finally watching "Ninja III – The Domination."
