Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Matt Singer The Dissolve Everything modern blockbuster spectacles lack: precision, grace, intimacy, stakes, and genuine, gritty excitement. Rated: 4/5 Jan 8, 2014 Full Review Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Overall, Ninja II is a solid entry in Scott Adkins’ career with good fights and a few emotions allowing him to stretch his acting muscles here and there throughout the film. Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See "Ninja: Shadow of a Tear" owns its pure, old-school aesthetic, and creates a modern B-movie classic. Rated: A Jul 8, 2020 Full Review Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Andrew Pollard Starburst As good a martial arts film as we've seen since 2003's Ong-bak. Rated: 7/10 Apr 12, 2018 Full Review Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Victoria Luxford The National (UAE) If you can forgive the narrative scenes, there is plenty here for fans of old fashioned, one-man-army action movies. Rated: 3/5 Nov 2, 2016 Full Review Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Fred Topel CraveOnline Hollywood movies don't give you this much value.

Cristian s Una típica película de accion clase B de los 80 con todos sus clichés pero filmada en el siglo 21. Y eso que para muchos puede llegar a sonar a defecto es su mayor virtud, la ya repetida trama de venganza con peleas cada 5 minutos, efectos prácticos pero bastante fantasiosos (por ejemplo la escena donde le corta la cabeza a una cobra con la espada), todo llevado a cabo por actores que también saben artes marciales y hacen todas sus escenas de riesgo despierta un factor nostálgico importante para los que vivimos toda la época pre internet. Grata sorpresa. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review David W A top quality martial arts actioner with the always excellent Adkins on top form in both terms of acting and remarkable martial arts prowess. Great stuff. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Ocasio-Cortez4prez2022 Must see for martial arts fans, fast and hard and brutal, Scott Adkins delivers in the best way. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review scott h If you love martial arts movies like Ong Bak, IP man or the Raid or Raid 2 the Ninja movies with Scott Adkins are a must. Scott Adkins has some of the best martial arts action sequences in his movies. Definitely one of the best martial artists I've ever seen Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review johnathon w Solid B-movie thanks mostly to Scott Adkins superb martial arts prowess and fight scenes. The plot and acting are nothing to write home about but the action is fun, and if you catch it on Tubi or Pluto, definitely not a waste of time. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Liam D Is it the greatest movie ever made no but for a Direct To DVD action movie its one of the best Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/21 Full Review Read all reviews
