| The ever impressive Alexander Lou stars in this hugely entertaining knockabout as Jack, a down on his luck sort who one night with the aid of a new found friend called Charlie saves the life of an affable old mob boss from an attempted assassination by his own cronies. Regretfully, this benevolent act proves only to stave off fate for a short time however as four hired professional killers are subsequently called in to kill the old chap, which they eventually succeed at doing. But wait, because now Jack and Charlie are now honour bound to take revenge...ninja style! What follows is a series of non stop, superbly choreographed fight scenes as our heroes fight for justice against an army of bad guys including a gambling addict knife thrower, a samurai who bears an uncanny resemblance to the late Oliver Hardy, a jive talking kickboxer (played by Lou's regular co-star Eugene Thomas aka. Eugene Trammel) and more ninjas than you can shake a stick at. Yay verily, this is awesome stuff from start to glorious finish and is made all the more fun as true to form, Lou acts against the preposterous material with deadly straight faced seriousness. |
