Red Blade (2018)

[Drunk Monk]

A teen gal in a school sailor suit gets bullied because her dad takes the fall for a company and goes to jail. She retreats into a comic book about ninjas. But then she falls into that world to study ninjitsu with two other girls in medieval Japan. They are orphan sisters bent on revenge. The threesome wear kawai ninjette suits that leave their thighs bare because that’s a ninjette style. But then it turns out that the murderer of the other two ninjettes’ father is the boss of the noob ninjette’s dad who made him take the fall. It goes from a hallucination delusion to a story about multiple realities. 

There’s a big ninja fight at the beginning where the girls’ sensei kills a lot of ninjas. It’s not too sanguineous beyond the ol’ spit blood & die, and the choreo is serviceable. All sword fights. Later the girls use kama, kunai & rope. Then at one point, the master does an amazing kumitachi cut thst looks very real. He’s got serious skills. The final fight is good in a crazy way, lots of barrel rolls and wild acrobatics. Ultimately it was enjoyable. But not really D00M worthy.
