You gotta love Scott Adkins. Or at least you do
if you are a fan of old school action movies starring men who talk softly and
carry a big stick, or in Adkins case a big kick. This sequel to the 2009 film Ninja
follows the adventures of Ninjitsu master Casey as his dreams of living a
peaceful life and teaching martial arts at his dojo are shattered when bad guys
break into his house and murder his pregnant wife. Casey tracks down and dispatches with the bad
guys in record time, giving him plenty of opportunity to go after the murderous
drug lord they worked for. The plot for Ninja 2 is ripped from the pages of
just about every decent Hong Kong action/Chuck Norris movie of the 1980s, which
is perfect because it doesn’t require Adkins to do any heavy dramatic lifting
in terms of his performance. He just kicks bad guy ass with style.
