Story: Fight everyone and trust no one: it's the code of survival practiced by martial-arts master Casey Bowman after his life of domestic bliss is shattered by a savage act of violence. Vowing revenge, the fearless American stealthily tracks the killer from Osaka to Bangkok to Rangoon with the help of a wise and crafty sensei. His only clues: a series of victims whose necks bear the distinctive mark of strangulation by barbed wire. Fighting to avenge as well as to survive, Casey must sharpen his razor-like responses and take his battle skills to the next level, even using deep meditation to fake his own death. His target: the sinister drug lord Goro, who is flooding the streets with deadly meth cooked at his remote jungle factory. To prepare for his ultimate confrontation, Casey must finally become an invisible warrior worthy of the name Ninja. But just when his prey is cornered, an unexpected twist shows Casey that his battle is only beginning: he truly can trust no one
Likes : As a martial art film goes this was good for the fight scene but being as good as the first film no, there are slight flaws in the storyline. You find this time around you see Casey has become a broken man after what happen & the story take him on a one man revenge that end up in a big final fight scene at the end.
Scot Adkins with out a doubt is the new van damme he dose a pretty convincing job as a man broken but what he is best at is the fight scene which is perfectly filmed with no camera shaking to a point you cant see anything, the fight is brutal & fast. It start off pretty slow at first but you get the odd fight scene in-between which break the slowness down, with the story which you don't see coming is a twist which is cleverly put in which kinds of make you think wow did see that.
Though Ninja Shadow of a Tear is on a small budget, all of the aforementioned problems are fixed. The movie is completely without shaky cam and quick editing. The plot is very basic and there is no fat to try and make it anything other than what it is....an incredible action movie. And finally, the incredible Scott Adkins and the amazing stunt team put in some amazing fights.
All the members of the cast do a pretty good job but as I say there is a flaw in this film, as action film's go you have to be in to these film to really enjoy them so it wont be for every one.
Dislikes : The only flaw I saw in this film was Casey wife Namiko played by Mika Hijii who play this role pretty well, but she just not in the film long enough to feel any emotional contact & feel for her character after what happens to feel for Scot adkins character Casey, that the only flaw I saw in this film.
Overall : Not a bad action film pretty average, good fight scene's.
Rating: 4.1 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.2 out of 10 for fight scene's/plot
