Review of Ninja Assassin (2009) by Lorenzo P — 29 Nov 2011
Having been involved with martial arts my entire life, I thought this film was seductive in its use of the art form, and choreographed with precise beauty. The critics that hammered this film are oblivious to the cause that martial arts carries at its core - the beauty and guile of movement.
There was a good story at the film's heart, even touching on child exploitation, and like everything else in the world of martial artists, deception is its theme to allow for the grace of movement.
Rain does an amazing piece of work with his movement and connection to the art in a manner that is similar to a Miles Davis piece, a small beginning that explodes into a wild and solar fireworks display that dazzles and stuns.
Other reviewers seem too jaded to see beauty, and rather seem to attempt to criticize for the sake of establishing their own names. The anti-NA critics are obviously in need not only of an eye test, but also of a blood transfusion.
