The clan, finding out about the investigation, attempts to assassinate her, but she is rescued by Raizo. Hiding in Europe, Raizo and Mika must find a way to take down the Ozunu Clan.

REVIEW
The bloody film stars Korean pop star Rain as Raizo, an orphan(
Kidnapped while still a child) trained to be a killer but now seeking revenge on his old teacher. Helping him in his quest is Interpol researcher Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris), who gets sucked into the frenzy of violence.Story revolves around a ninja (Korean pop star Rain) who teams with a sassy Europol agent (Naomie Harris) to get payback on the clan who trained him to be a heartless assassin.

Ninja Assassin is awash in computer-generated blood, redundant flashbacks (the movie may set a new record) and bad lighting that renders several of the fight scenes literally impossible to follow.

If you are expecting to see three basic things: 1) ninjas, 2) lots of them, 3) fighting each other with all sorts of cool weapons your parents never would let you own.

This slick slice of martial-arts mayhem from the producers of The Matrix is awash in blood. There’s a brutal fight scene every five minutes.

Rating 3/5
