Ninja Assassin (Review)

What I knew going in:
Nobody important stars in a Hollywood backed Chop-Saki Action Thriller about a rogue ninja being hunted down by his clan in the modern day.

Hype:
Meh+  The trailers showed some pretty epic action, and I thought if for no other reason this would be a fun watch.

Opening Thoughts:
Owie.  Pain.  Yuk.  Boring Plot mumbo jumbo.  I don't care that you have feelings.  I only care that you can KICK ASS!  Now go rip some people's limb's off!  GO GO GO!!!! oooohhh...  ahh......  eeeeekkk....  *cringe*  Now That's what I'm talking about!

Bottom Line:
It takes a while to get started after the opening, but you'll probably never see more Human Blood Pinata's, savage deaths, or machine gun speed shuriken in a single movie until we get Ninja Assassin 2.  There are very few films out there that can match this one's brutality and bloodthirst.  Plot?  WHO CARES.  Its a hong kong super kung-fu martial arts action flick, and its DAMN good.  The Special Effects are amazing, especially the chain whip sequences.  I haven't seen a martial arts flick this good since The Protector.  Absolutely in the top ten chop-saki flicks of all time.
