NINJA ASSASSIN, a modern martial arts action film brought to us by James McTeigue which to me is just an extension of the Wachowski's brand since he was their assistant director for their most recent films and appears to be a disciple of the brothers. The style of the film is very slick and if I was 10 years old I would say this was my favorite movie ever. Alas I am not a youth anymore and this film was simply entertaining, the gore was a pleasant surprise. A fun film that only seemed to be lacking a little extra oomph to take it to greatness. I wanted a little more ninja vs. modern soldier action. There was a smile inducing moment at the end of the film but other than that is was a straight forward ninja action story adding elements to the ninja lore that I enjoyed. A solid film.
