Ninja Death Squad

About This Movie

Ninja Death Squad is one of those films that embodies the '80s action aesthetic, even if the direction feels a bit all over the place. The pacing is uneven, with some lulls that contrast sharply with the explosive action sequences. You’ve got this clandestine gang taking out military figures, which brings in a gritty, almost paranoia-inducing atmosphere. The practical effects are quite notable for the time—simple but effective blood splatter and some decent martial arts choreography. It doesn’t really shy away from its themes of vengeance and justice, and the performances are surprisingly earnest given the absurdity of the plot. It’s a curious piece of the action genre that feels like a time capsule of its era.
