A lot of boys and men love ninjas, so this is a surface-y discussion they might enjoy.Still, they stopped speaking about real ninjas one-third or one-half way into the work. They then move on to the question, "Are SWAT team members the new ninjas?" Equating the present to the past help viewers who may get bored. A teacher once asked in a psychology class, "Are psychologists modern-day shamans?" There's a popular book equating businessmen of today (purposely gendered) to samurai. Still, this is a cop out in that we have much SWAT footage and little visual imagery of samurai, so of course the makers take the path of least resistance.This work is very Western. Japanese actors may have been used for the cheesy reenactments, but all the interviewees are Western.This work is just scant. There's no two ways about it.
