Has too much story for one movie and ends as merely a mildly entertaining ninja actioner...

Nothing more than an excuse for violent ninja fighting with a huge body count and plenty of blood - real and CGI.

It would be hard to expect any surprises from a film called Ninja Assassin, but on the other hand, it would be hard to be disappointed by it either. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

The problem is that the fight sequences -- the only reason anyone sees a movie like this in the first place -- are muddy, chaotic and boring. Even diehard fans of this genre would be well advised to skip this one.

This movie knows exactly what it is: Gonzo silliness about bodies turned into human salsa.

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