If anyone doesn’t know about this movie, they’re crazy. With all the advertising, Ninja Assassin has been appearing everywhere! What would catch anyone’s attention better than the title Ninja Assassin? Of course there’s more to it than that. There’s Korean pop sensation, Rain, who stars as the assassin Raizo. Also, Lee Joon, member of Rain’s newest boyband MBLAQ, plays the younger Raizo. The action scenes are fantastic but with action scenes comes blood and there was tons of it. This movie was definitely rated R for a reason.
Raizo is a ninja on the run after he escapes from the Ozunu Clan who trained him from a young age to be an assassin. His sole mission is to finally take the Ozunu Clan down. Raizo meets Mika Coretti (played by Naomi Harris), a Europol agent, who is investigating the clan, after she is targeted to be killed. Together, Mike and Raizo cooperate to take down the Ozunu Clan.
The plot itself was fairly simple and expected but if you want to see action, this is the movie for you. Of course, who doesn’t want to see a half naked Rain training in his apartment with pants that seem like they’ll fall of any second? And like any good half naked ninja, he has been thoroughly greased up for your enjoyment. Don’t forget the massive blood baths Rain gets to drench himself in as well. For fangirls, this is definitely not a disappointment. It’s a whole different side of Rain you’ve never seen before.
