Don't be fooled by the title if you're looking for some ninja action- this is just another incomprehensible mess of a movie that does not contain any actual ninjas! Good luck sorting through the motley assortment of scenes for any kind of story or characters to identify with. It's difficult to tell if this is a period piece, modern-day action movie or a post-apocalyptic flick. (Lots of people in it have archaic weapons, but occasionally someone has a gun. Also, some people drive cars, but others seem to teleport around.) One thing's for sure though- it stinks! You could find better ways to waste your time than with this turkey. Try watching fresh paint dry, for instance.

This Cinematic Masterpiece kept me enthralled from the very beginning to the last second. The Acting was superb, I cried. The lack of any Ninjas is inconsequential, It is a work of beauty with the Title having a deep symbolic meaning. The Special effects are on par with such recent films like King Kong and Lord of the Rings. The use of technology in an Anachrochistic fashion helps to shake you up and create suspense, truly Genius. I strongly recommend you to go out and find this movie, despite what you may think this isn't just an art-house classic, it also appeals to the more base instincts and emotions. It was a deeply moving and emotionally powerful, roundhouse kick of action to the face.
