Everyone thought thet Ozunu Clan, a clan assassin who will not hesitate to kill a life, is a myth thet living in the community fo hundreds of years. But myth is something tangible for Raizo (Rain) because Raizo is part of Ozunu Clan. Raizo is one of this clan killing machine.
Raizo was become part of this clan since he was a child. Raizo kidnapped this group and for many years trained to be an effective killing machine. One mistake is to kill Ozunu good friend and Raizo this tragic makes Raizo a large group of enemies who never knew this existed. Raizo vowed to avenge his friend and fled from ozunu clan.
At the same time, Europol agent named Mika Coretti (Naomi Harris) believes that there is a syndicate assassin from Far East related to a series of murders of political officilas in many countries. Ryan did not heed the commands of Maslow (Ben Miles), his boss, Mika continued the investigation.
Clan Ozunu who know that Mika suspect their existance then ordered Takeshi (Rick Yune) to eliminate this Europol agen. If without Raizo's help, Mika could have died at the hands of Takeshi. Had no other choice, noe Mika only can rely on the the help of gang Raizo to roll this dangerous killer.
Long enough nor is there an action movie that tells about ninjas. ninja movie itself popular in the 1980s and then a lot of films have tried to uncover the mysteri cults that never existed in japan. Who had idolized ninja, this film probably could be a refresher for your thirst while mention this NINJA ASSASSIN as a spectacular film still seems not quite right.
There are some weakness of this film and it seems to be a trademark for most of trh movei countrymen. The first plot is less well-organized so that there was a leakage of logic here and there. Too many coincidences that disrupt the elements of this logic was quite annoying bacause ultimately this film is like soap opera that just cappens to be embracing the concept of the key to everything.
The decission to use main actor Rain seemed to trends based to appereance of using Asian stars who later grow rampant. To be honest it was not much help because in addition had no acting background is sufficeint, Rain also appear to be experiencing difficulties in terms of language.
As a result only one secret weapon that can still be used James McTeigue as film director is action act and visual treat. Although really only using CGI technique, but the fight scenes are bloody does look pretty good.
For a film that reportedly cost only about U.S. $50 million, Ninja Assassin can certainly taht a goos visual threat. Karl Walter Lindenlaub as cameraman seemed to understand was how to present a goos visual threat with the cost not too high.
