Geisha vs ninja

This is basically just a series of fight scenes in the forest held together by a couple of flashbacks and blurbs of exposition. However, the wide variety of weapons and opponents prevents it from being boring, and for a low budget production the choreography is pretty impressive. Decent wirework, video game style fighting combos and a star who is convincing with her sword handling skills make this a fun way to spend 80 minutes.

What I was hoping for was a mindless action flick in the vain of Death Trance, the kind with action, a fast pace, some comedy and attitude to spare. Instead I got an overly serious, slow moving revenge tale with sped up action scenes straight out of Power Rangers. Disappointing to say the least.
