The story follows Raizo, a ninja who defects from his clan of assassination-trained orphans when they kill his sweetheart for trying to leave. Some Europol investigators are thrown into the mix pretty randomly and a veritable phantasmagoria of bloody conflict ensues as Raizo tries to avenge his fallen friend while protecting his newfound allies.
They really pulled out all the stops on this one. Geysers of thick, red, corn-syrupy blood, loudly swishing slow motion close-ups blades, and loads of seriously terrible one-liners make Ninja Assassin a must-see for any fan of martial arts who also enjoys having a laugh at a movie that has the guts to make jokes about itself. That’s the best feature of this movie—it knows it’s not to be taken seriously and behaves accordingly.
Probably worth seeing on the big screen. Definitely not for the easily queasy.
Great for a laugh with a friend.
