Shinobi (2005)
Strong violence
After years of war, Japan is united by the Shogun. Bound by a code of peace, the tribes of the Iga and Koga ninja maintain an uneasy truce. Beautiful Oboro is the leader of the Iga, heroic Gennosuke the Koga leader. The two fall in love, not knowing who the other is. The Shogun hatches a plan to destroy both clans and five of the best warriors from each clan are chosen for a final showdown. This is Romeo and Juliet- Ninja style. This is Shinobi.

Great flick but a little melodramatic for me. The chinese style theatre is a lot stronger in this movie than some of the made-for-export fare we usually see. Great fight sequences though, and if you love ninjas this is a four-course-meal.

Although it's a few years old now, it still looks very visually impressive with some great character traits for each of the 5 warriors from the opposing clans. I also found this to have a really impressive surround sound mix, with sword slashes and chains and all sorts of weapons flying about during the fight scenes. Plus I gave the review an extra star because I've visited the theme park last year (think Japanese Movie World) where some of the movie was shot :)

not so good ending but it's full martial arts action.

Excellent samurai movie with a Romeo and Juliet twist. Great action of the 'Crouching Tiger' school (but tougher), a great story, plenty of action and a treat for the eyes. Strong finish. One of the best of the genre.
