Blu ray movie review of Ninja Assassin

Produced by Wachowski brother and Joel Silver, Ninja Assassin is predictably an action packed movie. This isn’t to denigrate the movie or downgrade it compared to other cinema. Instead, we know what to expect from the people involved in this movie. While this movie won’t make you think long after the movie is over, it will give you a very satisfying and entertaining 100 minutes. If you grew up watching anime, you will most likely love any movie involving ninjas. The iconic anime movie Ninja Scroll could have been the inspiration behind the bloody Ninja Assassin. Like the anime, Ninja Assassin is very violent and action packed. While the setting and characters aren’t carried over from the anime movie, the overall tone and feel of the movie is generally accurate.

The plot is not overly complicated. Razio is trained to be a deadly assassin since his childhood. As an orphan, Razio was trained by the Ozunu clan. He endures his friend being murdered at the hand of Ozunu clan. But, once he is asked to murder a young girl, he turns on Ozunu clan. Through mutual hatred of Ozunu clan, Razio teams up with Europol investigator named Mika. Both of them end of fighting for their lives in order to bring down Ozunu clan.

The straight forward plot is nothing to be excited about. It’s not really original or inventive. However, it’s not the plot that drives this film. Instead, it is the action and the gore. The over the top action sequence and the way body parts fly around the screen is simply entertaining. And, the whole ninja fighting against other ninja in modern setting is incredibly fun to watch. The Korean entertainer Rain does well as the vengeful Razio seeking revenge on Ozunu clan. While he won’t win any plaudits for his acting chops, he does display good skills in martial arts. Overall, this is really a fun movie to watch if you can stomach weak plot.
