Critics Consensus

Overly serious and incomprehensibly edited, Ninja Assassin fails to live up to the promise of its title.

Decent ingredients but, as a whole, this is lacking in choreographic flair and plot substance.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

A garish and poorly filmed chop-socky frolic that makes about as much sense as an Escher painting viewed through Vaseline-smudged Ray-Bans.

Deep Focus Review

Ninja Assassin isn’t a bad movie; it’s just not very involving. The viewer watches from a safe distance as limbs are lopped off, and blood erupts from the body like volcanic blasts, but the ninja rules remain ambiguous.

Rated: 2.5/4

Gone With The Twins

Bloodthirsty doesn't even begin to describe the level of splattering carnage found throughout.

Rated: 7/10

The recipe is equal parts redundant storyline, weak computer generated special effects, poorly developed lighting, and horridly choreographed fight scenes.

We don't get to see ninjas in movies very often nowadays. It's unfortunate cuz I miss the days when martial arts films like this came out regularly. This film gave me everything I wanted from a ninja film. The action and fight sequences were incredible. This movie is Awesome.
