Fear not the weapon but the hand that wields it. Ninja Assassin, a hollywood movie delivered by the Wachowski Brothers together with the Asian rising-star Rain as the main cast. Well, to remind you, Wachowski Brothers is the man behind The Matrix Trilogy and also Speed Racer. And yes, if you think that means this movie will have a lot of action. I mean it, A Lot Of Action.
The movie main story is quiet simple, a young ninja apprentice named Raizo (Rain) who has been trained under the surveillance of Lord Ozunu (Sho Kusanagi), the head of the Ozunu Clan. Later on, he developed a romantic relationship with Kiriko (Kylie Goldstein and Anna Sawai). She then try to escape only to be executed by her ninja brother Takeshi (Rick Yune). Raizo then grows a hatred toward his ninja clan, and betray them. And then the story goes straightforward, yes, a revenge.
Also you can see the director of V for Vendetta, James McTeigue, who has worked in a lot of Wachowski Brothers' project, back into the director seat. The main point that the movie has is the wonderful martial art scene, that is shown in the Matrix style (I mean, slow motion).
Last but not least, for you who hate gore, violent, blood, and their friends, I'm not recommended this movie for you. As in the 99 min. of its running time, it'll be full of blood and slow-motion decapitation scene. But for you who enjoy adrenaline rush or maybe want to be a ninja, This movie is designed for you.
