Norwegian Ninja

2010 · 77 min

A deadpan, absurdist romp that plays Cold War conspiracy as a straight-faced ninja fantasy, leaving you unsure whether to laugh or salute.

Overview: Norwegian Ninja is the true story of how Commander Arne Treholt and his Ninja Force saved Norway during the Cold War. In 1983 the Ninja Force discovers that the sinister NATO force Stay Behind, who take charge in times of war and emergency, are planning a coup-d'état in peacetime. Treholt and the Ninjas see only one solution: a full can of whoop-ass.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and earnest. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Conspiracy, politics, power, loyalty
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
