Ninja: Mika Hijji

Here's another martial arts film I really enjoyed.Scott Adkins plays an orphan,raised by a caring Japanese,(and highly skilled)mentor.

As Scott grows,he is taught the ways of the ninja,and also has his eye on his mentor's grandaughter,played by the gorgeous Mika Hijji.

Unfortunately,Scott falls foul of one of the pupils at the ninja school,who is determined to get his hands on a secret ninja weapons cache.Not long into the film,the bad guy tries to get his hands on this,but despite him bumping off Mika's grandfather,Scott and Mika escape with it.

Of course,the bad guy doesn't give up that easily,so he sets off looking for Mika,to kidnap her.After several failed attempts by his hired thugs,he finally seizes Mika as a hostage,and she's shown deliciously tightly tied up and blindfolded,(sadly,no gag)whilst the bad guy demands Scott to bring him the secret weapons cache.

I've read some comments on Mika's character,that she was a useless damsel in distress.Personally,I didn't think so.She handles herself well,is very headstrong,but also kind,gentle and feminine.Mika also fights good,and is quite good at this too.However,the bad guys are too strong for her,so it's up to Scott to help her,which of course he does,as any decent bloke worth his salt would.:)

Of course,Scott does.He saves Mika's life,when the bad guy brings Mika(still tied up):)and of course,there's a good final duel scene between the hero and the villian.During the duel,Mika is poisoned by the villian,and is close to death,but fortunately,Scott saves this Japanese beauty,and of course,saves the day.Don't you just love it,when the good guy wins!:)

Great stuff.Let's hope there's more like this to come.:)
