Review: Ninja Assassin

Let's get to it. Ninja Assassin follows Raizo an orphan who has been taken in by an ancient and mysterious clan of ninja. Through flashbacks that are woven in with the present we are witness to his rise as a top ninja. The present day story follows Raizo and Mika Coretti, the latter is a Europol agent who has stumbled upon the existence of the ninja. We soon learn that this is not taken lightly and her life is immediately placed in grave danger. From their the story begins....

Ninja Assassin is a top notch action movie. Within the first five minutes people die in such creative ways that put the Saw movies to shame. The movie follows a very thin plot. It is never heavy, but I wished that the dialogue could have been better. Ninja Assassin excels at being an action movie, there is rarely a time when someone isn't getting cut up. The action sequenced were top notch. It's about what you would expect from the Wachowski brothers.

Ninja Assassin fails in the story which I talked about earlier. The story itself just serves as a bridge between the times that Raizo is kicking peoples behinds. That's all I have to say about the negative aspects.

This is an action movie with some of the coolest deaths scenes ever. I will readily admit that this movie is not for everyone. But, if you're ready to see bloody ninja on ninja action then you should definitely.....
