A friendly neighbourhood female ninja (or kunoichi, to genre fans) hangs around in a tiny town, seemingly waiting to discover the identities of those who are out to find and destroy her ninja village. Of course, whilst in town, she carries out numerous acts of kindness and develops affections for a fallen samurai, now the town drunk, with his wife passed away.
The film starts out clearly made on a low budget, but does have the promise of entertaining; sadly, not much happens other than the paint-it-by-numbers character-building of the kunoichi, which is all terribly dull.
To make matters worse, the lighting in the film is appalling - one second it's bright, then dark, then as it should be... it's as if someone decided that it would be a good idea to film all indoor scenes without a roof on a sunny day with plenty of clouds. Given that the action sequences aren't particularly worth sticking around (or even fast forwarding) to get to, there's nothing really to recommend and I turned it off after some 45 minutes, having skipped 20 of those to see if it picked up.
Overall, a waste of time, money and potential.
