This brings Kamui to constantly fight for his life against other ninjas who trie to kill him and keep their secrets within. Kamui does not trust, and he does not love.

kell Jun 18 2014 9:20 pm it was a interesting movie. hard to follow because it is base on a manga. but its pretty simple story line of a ninja not wanting to be a ninja. Action scene are good, cant really find a good ninja movie but this one. not bad. love the blood spelling out of the limbs kind of movie:)

Surge Oct 15 2013 5:07 am This movie touched my heart bu i did not like how it ended.Can you please release "KamuiThe Lone Ninja 2"

chatroulette Apr 10 2011 4:41 am Still, I can't find a good english subtitle, and the movie does need more action along with better cgi.

Yuka Oct 24 2010 7:18 pm WOAH. ekin speaks japanese?

Read Manga already Jun 15 2010 8:10 am the movie follows the story's line in manga. If you read manga before you might enjoy the film more. Still, I can't find a good english subtitle, and the movie does need more action along with better cgi.
