A movie that provides plenty of jolts but precious little pleasure.January 22, 2010
A garish and poorly filmed chop-socky frolic that makes about as much sense as an Escher painting viewed through Vaseline-smudged Ray-Bans.February 15, 2012
Ninja Assassin re-opens the door to a genre that has either been absorbed into conventional action movies via pilfered fight choreography or completely forgotten as a viable, creative foundation for interesting stories.November 30, 2009
The problem is that the fight sequences -- the only reason anyone sees a movie like this in the first place -- are muddy, chaotic and boring. Even diehard fans of this genre would be well advised to skip this one.April 20, 2011
It would be hard to expect any surprises from a film called Ninja Assassin, but on the other hand, it would be hard to be disappointed by it either. It does exactly what it says on the tin.November 25, 2009
This movie knows exactly what it is: Gonzo silliness about bodies turned into human salsa.April 02, 2011
Has too much story for one movie and ends as merely a mildly entertaining ninja actioner...November 25, 2009
This saga, set in Berlin, is more committed to its bloodletting than to any of its characters.March 07, 2010
...one, long, martial-arts fight.... Given the talents involved, we have to mourn what might have been.July 21, 2012
Nothing more than an excuse for violent ninja fighting with a huge body count and plenty of blood - real and CGI.December 02, 2009
Perhaps such phenomenal slaughter is best left to the imagination.
