United States	Ethan Alter The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] isn't a great movie, but if you're in the right frame of mind, it is a bloody good time"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The fight scenes are uninspired and I suspect post-pubescent audiences will be very bored (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Canada	Paul Young Screen Rant	"[It] has many flaws; however, the ninjas are not one of them. All of the ninja action in this film is awesome, and for fans of the genre that's probably enough."	NEU
United Kingdom	Will Lawrence Empire	"Decent ingredients but, as a whole, this is lacking in choreographic flair and plot substance (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Duncan Bowles Den of Geek	"A fantastic amount of violent fun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Anthony Quinn The Independent	"Not exciting."	NEG
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"This movie knows exactly what it is: Gonzo silliness about bodies turned into human salsa."	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"It's a gorefest, a borefest and a snorefest."	NEG
United States	Phil Pirrello IGN	"If you're looking for anything resembling an actual movie -- with a story, a plot, performances, nuance, etc. -- you'll likely find yourself at least mildly disappointed once the blood begins to dry."	NEU
