Ninja Assassin

A must watch for rain hardcore fans. Reportedly endure months of yucky food and daily of training to prepare for this movie. Rain is Raizo, some kid who was kidnapped as a child by some Ozunu Clan.

They trained assassins from young and then ripped rewards when they were hired to kill. But then rain can't be a baddie for his first movie, so he fled halfway after the one he loved, also from the clan was killed after being captured after escaping.

Raizo then found Mika, some europol agent who somehow can linked all the historical investigations of murders and killings with ninjas. As she and her boss dwelled deeper, they were hunted by ninjas, of course. Raizo found her and saved her. Asking her to help him find the Ozunu Clan but that didn't really need to work as they were finding both of them.

Lots of slashing, blood gore, limbs and hands flying around, halved heads and bodies. The blood still looked CGI but definitely much more realistic than the movie Blood. Mika's boss Ryan, bluffed her into getting Raizo to meet him but captured him. To no avail, the Ozuno clan came quickly, the agents/soilders were no match. Simply just there to be killed. Mika manage to free Raizo in time who saved her but he was badly injured.

They had a plan, letting the Ozuno clan captured Raizo but a tracking device allows the europol to track the location of the Ozuno HQ. Raizo recovered along the way by just doing some hand gestures with his palms closed, the sword wound looking like few foot long hot dog buns being cut opened just healed like that, "ninjaly".

At the HQ, it was final showdown between Takeshi and Raizo. Takeshi is the leader of the team send to get Raizo, also the one that killed his lover. He didn't die pretty definitely so did the teacher, Lord Ozuno. 7/10
