Though I've been sworn to secrecy as to their specific contents, Norwegian Ninja producer Eric Vogel was good enough to show me a clip reel of his upcoming action comedy and the only response is wow. This is an unusual one, a film that will deliver every ounce of goofy action that you would expect from the title - one sequence in particular played out with a deliberately obvious set of miniatures was just great stuff - while also working in a surprising level of real-world detail. This isn't just an action comedy but a reworking of the life of an actual person - a high ranking official convicted of spying on behalf of Russia in the height of the Cold War - and a lot of care has gone into getting the details right. Well, the real Arne Treholt probably wasn't a ninja and almost certainly never meditated on mountaintops with wolves, but he really did do a fair bit of the stuff the movie says he does. Smart, stylish and funny, this is looking very good indeed so far ...
