Action - This is a very violent, very bloody martial arts action film. The
film is much too graphic for kids. Fans of Korean pop star Rain
should be pleased by this starring vehicle.

Chicago TribuneFull Review Below Average The target audiences for “Ninja Assassin” have already spent weeks of their lives vivisecting bad guys on one gaming system or another, most of them without turning into sadistic killers in real life. So that’s a comfort, even if “Ninja Assassins” isn’t a good movie.
Dallas NewsFull Review Good Ninja Assassin is on firm enough ground with this kind of stuff; pulpy self-seriousness serves it very well.

Raizo is one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them...and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow, Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi, to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive...and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.
