"Ninja Assassin" exclusive bite size review

Ninja Assassin (닌자 어쌔신 - 2009)

The screening was great! As for the movie.... well, first let me say, if you are the least bit squeamish then DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. There was intense, anime-style violence throughout the entire film.

As I watched the opening scene, I did not have high expectations for this film. The opening is full of ridiculous dialogues and really bad Asian stereotypes. It left a bad impression on me during the whole film, but once I put it out of my mind and tried to enjoy the movie, I found that it was pretty good.

Rain did an excellent job! I really enjoyed his character. His acting and fighting scenes were the best in the film. There were also lots of 'fan service' shots (Rain running about in minimal clothing) so fan who saw the movie just for Rain will not be disappointed.

If I have any complaints about the movie, the are about the unbelievable plot-line (yes, even unbelievable for a ninja movie. It was some where between a samurai movie and 'The Da Vinci Code') and terrible dialogues. I hope to see Rain act again in a film with a better screenplay.

In conclusion, if you really like Rain and violence and are willing to stretch your imagination pretty far then "Ninja Assassin" is a pretty good film.
