Synopsis: Ninja Assassin is an action film directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) and produced by the Wachowski Brothers(Matrix trilogy), Joel Silver and Grant Hill. It stars international superstar Rain (Speed Racer), Naomie Harris (28 Days Later) and Rick Yune (The Fast and the Furious). Raizo is an orphan who was adopted by the Ozunu clan. He was trained to be the deadliest ninja assassin. His loyalty was shook when a loved one died in the hands of the clan. He rebels against them and went into hiding. After a few years, a Europol agent, Mika Coretti, got into trouble for investigating the clan. She was saved by Raizo and now must work together to find a way to bring down the clan.
Review: The plot is your usual out-for-revenge. The movie depends on its gory fast-paced action. I have to complain that most of the action scenes were done in the dark. Some were just too fast-paced which led to confusing and dizzying scenes. They even imitated the scene in the film "300" where Leonidas enters matrix mode as he slashes through his enemies, but it was not as good as the mentioned film. There is not much of a story here so prepare for a snorefest if you plan on watching this.
Score: 4/10... Cool action scenes... That's about it.
