Ninja Assassin - Rain

Raizo (Rain)

Went to watch this movie with siblings and Hilmy. Hilmy has been talking about this movie since the trailer is out. It didn't attracted me at the first place, but I was bored and suggested to watch Ninja Assassin as our Friday night's plan.

The story began with Raizo is kidnapped from the street and trained as a killer by Ozuno clan, a secret society whose existence is considered a myth. Raizo is trained cruely and transformed into one of the deadliest assassins in the world.

Ozuno, the leader of Ozuno clan is a man without mercy. He executed all his ninjas which he named them as betrayers if they disobeyed his law. Haunted by his merciless, Raizo break free from Ozuno's control, thus, Ozuno sent a team of assassins to kill Raizo.

On the other side of world, Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) digs into highest top secret agency files attempting to reveal the dark secret of the corrupted relations between the assassin clans and powerful politicians. Defying the order from her supervisor, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), she stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders which linked her to the underground network of untracable assassin clans.

Her investigation had made herself a target. Fortunately, before the Ozuno assassin is able to kill her, Raizo appeared in her apartment and killed the ninja sent by Ozuno. Mika was thrilled yet afraid realizing that Ninja does exist. Raizo promised to protect her, as a return, her assistance is needed for Raizo to stop the manipulation and merciless of Ozuno clan.

Both Raizo and Mika are now the most wanted person for Ozuno clan and government agency. They helped each other and finally, Raizo eliminated the Ozuno clan forever.

Throughout the movie, violence and execution are the rules of thumb. Insanely violent and revenge add the spice to this movie. The CGI blood soaked into the screen and you can see bodies sliced into half, ninjas born out to the shadow silently, hard training and muscles.

It's quite a hard experience to Rain. His english is good and he is real good in martial arts. I think if he is not a dancer, it will be a hell for him to generate a graceful deadly kinetic move. The weapons are unique, especially the swords with chain.

In short, I recommend Ninja Assassin if you are looking for a fun night out movie. Not Twilight New Moon type of movie. I know they have poor rated and some of the audience booing after the show. bear in your mind that the people who making this movie, their idea is to make a bunch of ninjas killing each other violently and vengeance rules the movie.

A thumb up to Ninja Assassin, it's a great movie.
