Great Film overall
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
basically,the Shinobi are the lowest of the low in the ninja class and are essentially considered cannon fodder and sent on the most dangerous missions that missions that higher classes will not go on.they are disposable and expendable,and they live to serve their masters.they are born into this class,and no matter how skilled they are,can not rise to a higher class,so are destined to die in that class.the events in the movie take place hundreds of years ago and focus on one particular fighter and his struggles with his destiny nd and obeying the law of the land.i enjoyed the film.though there is one disturbing rape scene.otherwise,i thought the movie was well done.it's fairly short at about 75 minutes.there are two options of viewing the film,one with Japanese language and English Subtitles,or dubbed English.i picked English subtitles.anyway,for me,Shinobi:The Law of Shinobi is an 8/10
