Be it the main character or supporting one, every character in the movie spice up the drama. You can feel the emotions for each lost, win, fight and be prepare to blown away by the sleek, well trained and intense hand movements of characters. No red,gore bloodshed too.
This is definitely different from any ninja movies out there, exposing the fact of these brute ninjas. A great work from Director Yoshihiro Nakamura, cast lists and staff roundup.
MUMON - The Land of Stealth. Awesome movie to be watched.
'Mumon' is based on a ttrue historical record of a war in the Japanese Warring State period between the Ninja and Samurai, written by Japanese best seller writer, Ryo Wada.
Don't be fooled by the casual entry, you'll be caught by director Nakamura's tricks to unveil the true drama and message of this story.
The more you see the more you'll discover!
It is difficult to be completely fair about a Japanese ninja film I saw with some of the most surreal subtitles possible, "We will attack Iraq soon", "this is money....Yongle hundred money". To add to the confusion whoever was translating names made a splendid job with often quite literal translations, Big Meal, Ah and No Door amongst others, names that blended almost unobtrusively with the generally confusing goings on.
It was however enough to follow a film that I suspect was filmed in 2017 using 1950's script and technology, what was produced can be described as full ninja anime. To make up for the somewhat obscure start the film transitioned into what was an excellent portrayal of an archetypal ninja culture, warmongering, money hungry and fun hungry, martial art living badasses.
There were some sublime parts of this film that made it worth the watch.
A 7 for trying damn hard :D
