Ninja Assassin (2009) 8/10

Starring : Rain, Naomie Harris, Ben Miles
Director : James McTeigue
Running Time : 99 mins

A mysterious Ninja clan that trains its people from childhood to be hired killers finds itself under threat when one of its number, Raizo (Rain) decides to turn his back on them and instead seek out vengeance for those they have killed over the years. He soon teams up with Europol operative Mika Coretti (Harris), who has been targeted for death by the Ninja clan, and together they fight to take them down once and for all.

This has the sort of over the top violence that hearkens back to the action movies of the 1980s.The violence is perfectly suited for the subject matter and is well balanced throughout the movie. Fans of martial arts movies will thoroughly enjoy the action packed fight sequences, and fans of mindless violence will get a thrill from this.
