Ninja assassin is a story about Raizo(Rain) who is taken from the streets and trained to be a world’s deadliest assassin but then raizo finds that he has a heart and heart is a very special mechanism which reveals more than just beats.
who teaches raizo that? Boom Young Kiriko. A fellow trainee at the school of deadly assassin of Ozunu Clan. But then young kiriko is about forgiveness and humanity and doesn’t fit into the dark disappearing and ruthless world of ninja. After some revolting she tries to flee and fails miserably paying with her life ruled so by the Ninja master(the main villain) and executed by Takeshi (Rick Yune) raizos competition and pain in the ass guy at the school only making things worse and adding to raizo’s misery.
Raizo wrath about the injustice and ninja business makes him go against the clan and fight the shadow seeking deadly ninjas of Ozunu Clan and raizo embarks on the mission with taking out his master’s right eye. What follows is the awesome action sequences and martial art display.
The plot begins when a Europol agent Mika Coretti is researching the clan existence and their involvement in gold for murder deals.as you guessed ninjas are assigned to murder her but raizo finding a purpose and that special heart in her fights against the clan to save her.
The story and action is cleanly woven creating a decent design for an action entertainer. i especially liked raizos showdown with his old master. Well if raizo succeeds in saving the special heart is another story and why the freedom? is an ironic matter.
Anyways I liked the whole deal in all a good watch.sometimes the action sequences are compromised for rains lack of martial art proficiency but made-up in the climax. There has been loads of budget influx into showing blood and raw meat. So for people who cannot handle it get a barf bag or better still avoid it.
Hated one thing, people bringing their smaller ones to a movie like ninja assassin. Surely they are going to be non-vegetarians after all that blood and meat. Anyways parenting is not my subject so go enjoy the kicass movie and see how raizo raises to the occasion to give you unbelievable action.
PS: like always when there is an Asian movie be open for irrational complimentary act especially the shadow act and you should not have any problems with the movie.
