Plot: The ninja were disbanded after WWII, but they still exist and carry out undercover missions. KurÅ Kumogakure is a low-ranking ninja who wants to climb the ladder, but he can't find a proper job. One day, he is recruited for a new mission. It looks straightforward, but he quickly realizes he took on more than he can handle.

The plot of Fukuda's latest is silly nonsense, and the fight scenes aren't top-notch, but like most of his films, the comedy is what makes it worth your while. The nonsensical, dry banter is pretty hilarious, and even though it often slows down the movie while adding absolutely nothing to the plot, it saved the film for me.
Not that the rest isn't fun, but it's simple entertainment with a bit of low-brow, mid-budget action. It doesn't stand out, which is kinda worrying for a 2-hour film. But Fukuda is a comedy master, and there was more than one scene where I had to laugh out loud. Don't expect anything too insane, but if you're looking for proper entertainment, look no further.
