Blu-Ray Review: ‘Ninja Assassin’ Upstages Physical Feats With Bloody Effects
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 19, 2010 - 12:45pmCHICAGO – Maybe a film called “Ninja Assassin” starring Korean pop star Rain would be some people’s idea of a good time, but not mine. The best martial arts films are the ones that delve into the psychology of a warrior, turning grandstanding set-pieces into the artful externalization of his (or her) inner battles. “Ninja Assassin” may contain lots of martial arts, but the film is as much a work of art as a McDonald’s Happy Meal.
