3 NINJAS (Theatrical Release USA 1992)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

3 Ninjas—run-of-the-mill preteen flick—serves easy-on-the-mind entertainment fare that works when nothing else is happening. It’s something to run in the background while accomplishing other tasks and does not take a great deal of involvement to follow its storyline.
