Ninja Assassin 3

Ninja Assassin is a 2009 martial arts film directed by James McTeigue. The story was written by Matthew Sand, with a screenplay by J. Michael Straczynski. The film stars South Korean pop musician Rain as a disillusioned assassin looking for retribution against his former mentor, played by ninja film legend Sho Kosugi. Ninja Assassin explores political corruption, child endangerment and the impact of violence. The Wachowskis, Joel Silver, and Grant Hill produced the film for Legendary Pictures, Dark Castle Entertainment and Silver Pictures. It was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

The Ozunu Clan, led by the ruthless Lord Ozunu, trains orphans from around the world to become the ultimate ninja assassins to offer assassin service to rich clients. The clan charges 100 pound worth of gold for their services and always kill any witnesses in the vicinity of their target. Raizo is one of the orphans. The Ozunu Clan's training is extremely brutal, especially for Raizo since he is to be the next successor of the clan. The only kindness he ever feels is from a young kunoichi named Kiriko, with whom he eventually develops a romantic bond. As time goes by, Kiriko becomes disenchanted with the Ozunu's routine and decides to abandon it. One rainy night, Kiriko climbs a wall to escape and encourages Raizo to join her, but he chooses to stay. Branded as a traitor, Kiriko is captured and later executed in front of Raizo by their elder ninja brother Takeshi, who impales her through the heart.

Years later, an adult Raizo is instructed by Lord Ozunu to complete his first assassination to kill a group of gangster. After the mission, Raizo meets the rest of his clan atop a city skyscraper in Berlin. There, Lord Ozunu orders him to execute a kunoichi traitor. Remembering Kiriko's death, Raizo slashes Lord Ozunu's face with his kyoketsu-shoge and fights against his fellow ninjas. Barely surviving, he falls off the rooftop and into a river. After years, Raizo recovers and trains on his own to intervene in, and foil, all of Ozunu's assassination attempts.

Although feeling betrayed, Mika is assured by Maslow that he is still on her side and gives her a tracking device for emergencies. The Ozunu ninjas infiltrate the Europol safe house, where Raizo is being held, in an attempt to kill him and everybody inside. Mika frees Raizo and they both manage to escape, but Raizo suffers near-fatal wounds. Mika then takes him to a motel to hide. Resting in the motel, Mika implants the tracking device into Raizo, as the ninjas remain in pursuit. Unable to fend off the Ozunu, she hides outside the motel until Special Forces arrive to help her.

By the time they arrive, the ninja have already kidnapped Raizo, bringing him before Lord Ozunu for execution. During the transport back to the Ozunu, Raizo uses his ninja techniques to heal his own wounds. Europol Special Forces and tactical teams led by Maslow storm the secluded Ozunu retreat (nestled in the mountains) using the tracking device on Raizo.

Turning the night into day by saturating the sky above with powerful flares, the military forces are able to fight the ninjas on their own terms. In the confusion, Mika frees Raizo from his bindings. He proceeds to kill Takeshi and confront Lord Ozunu in a sword duel. Mika interferes to help but gets stabbed by Lord Ozunu. Enraged, Raizo uses a "shadow blending" technique for the first time to distract and kill Lord Ozunu. Mika, seemingly fatally wounded, is in fact saved by a quirk of birth: her heart is actually on the right side of her chest.

Ninja Assassin was directed by James McTeigue, who had previously worked with producers The Wachowskis and Joel Silver on V for Vendetta four years prior. The Wachowskis were inspired to make the film by actor Rain's impressive ninja-based fight scenes in their 2008 film Speed Racer. The initial screenplay was written by Matthew Sand, and was rewritten by J. Michael Straczynski only six weeks prior to filming due to the Wachowskis' initial dissatisfaction. Martial Artist turned actor Sho Kosugi had previously starred in a number of ninja movies playing ninja villains and heroes several times in the 1980s, and had become a cult icon, hence his role as the antagonist Lord Ozunu, named after En no Ozunu, a 7th-century Japanese mystic and one of the developers of ninjutsu. "If you've ever watched any ninja films from the 1980s, you know that Sho Kosugi is the ninja; he is the man," asserts McTeigue.[5]

So in the movie, the Keymaker was almost killed by a ninja (assassin). But luckily for him, he was born with a rare defect and his heart is on the mirror opposite side of his chest. I thought it was a dumb explanation at the time, but sure enough it's a real thing. And since "Dextrocardia is believed to occur in approximately 1 in 12,019 pregnancies", I guess I can let it slide. He miraculously survived, sure.

I use two beds of nails when I do my hand stand work, one for each respective hand, spaced so that there are no nails underneath my face. That way, you can get more range of motion on the handstand push-ups. What I really need is a big bed of nails, with longer nails right where my hands are, so there is that whole cool ninja do or die motivation, with a full range of motion. This training would be followed by a session of jumping about the living room with sharp objects, and a flash back or two about my severe childhood training.

LOL! My Mom bought the DVD of this a few months ago. I liked it for the cute guy and the fighting scenes, but the gore was a bit much for me too.

It felt like more of a guys' movie, and the scenes in darkened rooms were annoyingly difficult to follow. The 'ninja magic' made me scrunch my nose in cultural irk, but the visual effects were fun to watch.

Conclusion: Not bad for killing time if you don't mind gore, but don't expect to learn anything.

When Europol agent Mika Coretti investigates decades of mysterious killings all over the world, her research leads her to suspect ninjas (as all detectives secretly do). This puts her in grave danger since Ozunu finds out about her work and attempts to have her killed by his minions. Multiple times.

When the ninjas were coming to kill him after he was locked up and released then he fought with KG and somewhere during that he starts spinning, jumps and does a diagonal spin in slow-motion in mid-air and that is EXACTLY the KG UT!

Plucked from the streets as a child and brutally trained as a killer by the shadowy Ozunu crime syndicate, Raizo (Rain) is now one of the deadliest assassins in the world. When the Ozunu boss (Sho Kosugi) cuts down his friend, though, Raizo breaks free and prepares to exact his revenge.

Ninja Assassin is a movie likely to polarise viewers. On the one hand, you have the anime generation numb to the gory violence cheering on every move of the spectacular ninja Raizo (played by Korean actor/popstar Rain). On the other, there will be those outraged by the excessive blood and carnage, wondering how a movie like this ever got made.

In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders.

At the beginning of the film, one of Hollywood's Yakuza thugs is briefly seen grabbing a SIG-Sauer pistol from his waist before getting killed by a ninja. It could be either a P220 or a P226, but it's not seen clearly enough to determine it from the single/double-stack bulges or the barrel size.

Ninja Assassin follows Raizo, one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge.

And while it was nothing new or groundbreaking, it always entertained as a sort of action ninja thriller. I could have done it without the horrible CGI blood. While there are plenty of awesome kills and carnage, none of it works because of this.

I feel I largely underrated this upon release. It scans now much less like a Golan-Globus homage (and not an entirely successful one) than manga-inspired, closer to something like Baby Cart. And while I generally deplore the use of CGI blood, it's deployed pretty advantageously here. First, there's a shitload of it, everywhere, which I'm in favor of no matter how it's achieved. Second, and more importantly, ninja business is best done in the dark, an element most ninja movies tend to have a tough time capturing, and the digital blood here allows a much more graphic approach to framing and cutting the shadow/nighttime stuff, almost like McTeigue is using its plastic brightness to direct your eye. It's pretty lovely.

Let's see this one is extremely gory....is fast paced.....has some impressive action scenes....and has 100s of deadly ninjas....what more could you want from a movie? Well how about a story that is slightly more believable?

In this one.....our hero (Rain) is a young ninja that turns his back on the ninja clan that raised him. Rain turns out to be the baddest ninja out there....as he protects Naomie Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean movies) who has been targeted for assassination by his old clan. Movie is pretty much action from start to finish....most is pretty impressive....just be prepared for lots and lots of blood and flying body parts.

I obviously prefer my ninja victims to be squibbed-up and prosthetically sliced but that's like lamenting over the death of Blockbuster Video. That's not to say I didn't appreciate the constant and copious bloodletting, limb dicing and throwing star stabby action.

For a threadbare retribution tale of a disgraced ninja (K-pop star Rain) against his master (certified boneshatterer Sho Kosugi), it's hard to be disappointed in Ninja Assassin delivering exactly on its title. Master stunt team 87Eleven (The Matrix, John Wick) pack in ample appendage-ripping brutality while gallon jugs of tomato soup are blown open each and every time sword swipes meet flesh (lookin' at ya, Shogun Assassin). 17dc91bb1f
