Review of Ninja Assassin (2009) by Nicky T — 30 Nov 2010
Extremely bloody action-movie - well stylised and choeographed laden with comic-book violence, however, as expected there is little plot (typical revenge story) or character development. There are actually 3 narratives of which 2 eventually join - the remaining one is the flashbacks which make the best part of what story there is.
Rain makes a competant Asian lead in a Hollywood film but as usual the Asian man doesn't get the (American) girl - they even cropped his face from ther poster. WTF?! I expected better from the makers of The Matrix/V For Vendetta but the action scenes were great, shame about that fake CG blood though.
