Ninja Assassin was probably the best action flick I’ve seen. The movie’s story itself was meh and really leaves a lot open (sequel?), but dang is the action really detailed! I’m sure if they made another movie the action could be even better. I’ve never seen so many leg decapitations. I watched a guy stab himself in the face through his neck w/ a curved dagger. So awesome.

I’m not saying the movie’s amazing, but in terms of action, it was better than most anything on the market. If future movies build off of this kind of premise, then those movies will wind up being some of the better action movies of our time.

Some of the really Japanese parts of the movie were a fantastic tribute to ninja mythology. I only hope that if there is a sequel, it doesn’t become a cash-in as the storyline could be easily expanded and less conspiratorial. The female lead in the movie reminded me of Chris Trucker and Michael Jackson combined in how she looked and spoke. I think the coolest part was the very beginning watching everyone die; the rest of the movie was far too dark to really see as much of what was going on.
