This move got excellent reviews when it came to Seattle, so it can be
removed on that basis alone.  I saw it.  It was slow, but it had some
interesting points to make about life in a non-technological society (which 
itself was slow and boring).

I have seen some of the other martial movies (even the Ninja movies) and I
don't think any of them were as bad as "The Ninja Mission".  It was a 
Swedish movie (poorly dubbed as usual).  It consisted of a number of people
dressed in black clothes (these were Swedish ninja), who went around shooting
people and occasionally throwing shurikens at people.  At one point these ninja
spent a half hour of movie time (the movie was only an hour and a half long)
shooting bad guys who died on sight.  There was no martial arts in this
movie.  It has nothing to with the martial arts genre except the ninja name.
There is nothing that I can remember (and there isn't much to remember from
this movie) that could be considered worthwhile seeing.
