Hey its not like I was wanting to watch a movie with a deep plot anyway. Watch it I do not think you will regret it. "One of the worst films ever made " This movie was awful do not recommend buying this renting this or even looking at the cover. I hated every momment of this film. It is not funny, has a terrible soundtrack an is poorly acted. The story had potential three ninjas in a love triangle. But the sillyness of the whole film makes you not care at all about the characters. The main characters are more like the 3 stooges than 3 ninjas. The fighting was silly and weak. I liked the fighting in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie better. Overall if it were possible I would give this film negative stars "Modern take on traditional Genre " The story centers around a triangle of Ninjas who have grown up and trained with eachother all their lives. If you are not familiar with Nakano's work then this movie will come as a shock for it is not your classic samurai movie. Instead Nakano breaks away from rigid tradition and does something different for a modern century. Though i will always enjoy classic japanese cinema, its great to see a young director do something new. Red Shadow features great cinematography, entertaining characters, and an intimate storyline. This one should definitely have a place on your shelf. "Awesome" This movie is one of the best out there today, it is a parady of past ninja movies, one that is not to be taken to seriously. If you want a serious film this is not the one for you. The commecal elements are hilarious, with tons physical humor. By the end of this movie my stomach hurt from laughing so hard. I would recommend this to anyone. "Waste of money and time. One of the Worst movive ever made." There is no special effect in this movie. It is acted exactly like a play on stage. When a person was killed by a sword, only his face was shown. There was no blood. The kung fu fighting is like kids' games. It's looks like a comedy but it's not funny at all. The women ninjas wear scanty clothings. One was shown wearing stockings with patterns made in the 21 century! After watching it for 20 minutes, I returned it to the movie store. It is not worth finishing it.
