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.
