Ninja Assassin is THE most awesomely terrible movie of the year. What is an awesomely bad movie you ask? Well, it is when a film is created by a team of people who understand that their source material is terrible, yet they embrace it and try to deliver the audience a kick ass, and rather funny film to entertain you for taking the time out of your day to see such a piece of shit. Ninja Assassin is practically the definition of awesomely bad. The plot is downright non-existent, yet the majority of it is spent in flash backs showing the main character, Raizo (Rain- yeah sick name right?) and his progression from being a prized student of his ninja clan to being the clan’s number one target. Bah, who am i kidding? Watch the trailer and you know the plot of the movie except maybe a few tidbits about Interpol and a few other people that are bland as the popcorn sold at your local movie theater. Director James McTeigue really tries more so on delivering what you’d expect from a movie called “Ninja Assassin”, which is people getting cut to ribbons by buff Asian men and women dressed in black with tons of sharp stabby objects. McTeigue absolutely kills by bringing all of these expectations and turning the volume up so much that it borders on ninja-cutting euphoria. Yeah, that’s right Ninja Assassin is the most entertaining of all American ninja assassin-genre movies.
