Ninja Assassin Movie Download

9 / 10

Full on Ninja action!
Mika Coretti, a Europol agent believes that she has found a link between a number of high profile assassinations; the common factor is that the payment is the equivalent of one hundred pounds of gold. She informs her superior and tells him that she believes that those responsible are a clan of ninjas! He is initially sceptical but as he comes under scrutiny he wonders if they have stumbled on a secret powerful people don’t want exposed. Meanwhile Mika’s investigation leads her to Raizo, a ninja who has left the clan. Now the rest of the clan are determined to kill him for his betrayal and eliminate anybody who might expose them. Inevitably this will lead to much bloodshed before a final confrontation. Interspersed with this we see a succession of flashbacks which show Raizo’s upbringing in the clan, its brutal training regimen and the reason he ultimately left them.

If you are looking for subtlety you are in the wrong place; this film is full of bloody ninja action which sees limbs severed, heads cut in two and blood all over the place. This starts in the opening scene so if you can get past that you should be okay with what follows. The action may be highly choreographed and occasionally CGI enhanced but it is still thrilling and frequently wince inducing. The story is fairly simple but that doesn’t matter; it is there to justify the action and it does that just fine. The cast are solid; K-Pop star Rain impresses as Raizo and Sho Kosugi is suitably menacing as Lord Ozunu, his once mentor now the main villain. Also solid are Naomie Harris as Mika and Ben Miles as her boss. Overall I’d definitely recommend this film to fans of action featuring a variety of blade weapons; it has the feel of a film made in the Far East without the need to read subtitles (not that I mind that) or endure a poor dub!Read More
