So, remember in Power Rangers when they punched each other and there was an explosion on their face or on their arm or on their chest and they went flying? Ok, so picture that, then replace explosions with shitty, Final Cut Pro blood splatters and add a really a really hot, second rate Korean pop star with ninja healing powers and you’ve totally got Ninja Assassin on your hands.

I’m not complaining though. As soon as the old tattoo painting guy at the beginning of the movie ironically foreshadowed with “…and their laughter was drowned in their own blood.” I pretty much knew exactly what I was in for.

Following suit was an hour and a half of blood-splattering ninja goodness.

Unfortunately, I didn’t really get the gore I expected through all of the movie. I mean, there were plenty of severed limbs, but they were so poorly CGI’d I honestly thought I was watching an R rated version of the Adventures of Sinbad.

That being said, Ninja Assassin was pretty awesome for what it was worth. While, the dialogue was camp-tastic and the story wouldn’t impress a 5 year old, the sheer violence is enough to make me rent it.

In conclusion, expect Ninja Assassin on DVD in like, 3 weeks, as it’s success will surely be drowned in the L-O-Ls of it’s own audience.
