Yes.Alright, let's break this ish DOWN!
The plot was used- BUT- when ninjas are involved, you can't go wrong. Seriously. You ever seen Surf Ninjas [yes, the link takes you to part 1 of 9 of the movie- YOU OWE ME]? Easily one of the worst movies made, but it's still one of my favorites.
In any case, the main ninja dude (played by S. Korean pop sensation Rain) is kidnapped as a child and trained to be a merciless killer by an ancient "merciless-killer-ninja-assassin-clan", but after his first real mission, he realizes that everything up to that point was everything he wasn't. So what is a merciless killer with a heart do? That's easy-
KILL EVERYONE
...or, at least everyone in the clan, putting an end to the craziness that is being a Ninja Assassin.
Here are the things I appreciate in the movie:
It is all that is man when it comes to ninja gore, wicked action scenes, and South Korean pop stars turned NINJA ASSASSIN!
Overall: the movie kicked-ass and if you don't see it, go crawl under a rock and stay there, because you don't deserve to see the glory that is cinema.
Ninja Assassin- 4.5 High-Fives.

Here are the things I appreciate in the movie:
- Gratuitous amounts of RIDICULOUSLY intense and awesome action scenes
- Copious amounts of shadow-people-ninja-men
- Appropriate computer simulated weaponry (not abused like in some ninja flicks)
- Rain's surprisingly good-grip on being a badass, but not the cocky, douchey type of badass.
- The director's take on flashbacks and memories
- The "what-the-heck?!" moment when ish gets real (you know what I'm talking about, Cameron)
- How the action did.not.STOP...once it got started
- The main character's name--is RAIN.
- There was a sh*t ton of mondo-fake looking blood, but I can forgive it because of how awesome it was drawn aka "why it happened".
- Rain didn't really use the SUHWEEET ninja stars as much as I desperately wanted him to.
