Ninja 3 (2026)
This is the martial-arts sequel we didn’t know we needed. Ninja 3 takes everything that made the earlier films cult favorites and sharpens it into something colder, quieter, and far more lethal.
Scott Adkins is back as Casey Bowman, but this isn’t the same man anymore. Older, quieter, more contained—he moves like someone who has finally understood the cost of every strike. His performance is all precision and economy; there’s no wasted motion, just devastating control. Watching him is like seeing a blade being slowly drawn from its sheath.
Then there’s Keanu Reeves. His mysterious shinobi master is pure presence—still, deliberate, and terrifying in the most understated way. He doesn’t shout, he doesn’t posture; he simply is danger. The chemistry between Reeves’ glacial calm and Adkins’ tightly coiled fury is electric. Every scene they share feels like two storm fronts slowly closing in.
The action is exactly what fans have been craving: clean, brutal, and beautifully shot. Katana duels that feel personal, bamboo-forest stealth sequences, dojo battles where every block and counter matters, and long-take fights that let you actually see the skill. No shaky cam, no over-editing—just crystal-clear choreography that hits hard.
The tone is serious, almost meditative. Minimal dialogue. Maximum weight behind every choice and every kill. It’s not about flashy spectacle; it’s about two philosophies of honor crashing together through violence.
If you love martial arts films that respect the craft and actually have something to say, Ninja 3 feels like a rare, disciplined gem. This one cuts deep.
