Ninja Assassin Full Movie In English Hd Free Download

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.

Our hero is Raizo, played by long-haired Korean pop star Rain, who also appeared in the Wachowskis' disastrous Speed Racer. He's being tracked by Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris), a "Europol" agent who is convinced that the long-rumored ninjas are real. She's right about that, but wrong to fear Raizo. He turns out to be an anti-ninja, fighting against the Clan of Black Sand, which adopted, raised and trained him.

A series of flashbacks show how Raizo, a gifted student, came to break with the killers, led by the icy, sadistic Lord Ozunu (Sho Kosugi). The movie's depiction of ninja training is, of course, fictitious. Aside from its murderousness, though, the ninja academy does bear a certain resemblance to the real-life Beijing Opera school attended by such performers as Jackie Chan.

Legendary martial-arts performer Sho Kosugi plays Lord Ozunu, Raizo's original master and leader of the assassin clan. The historical Ozunu was an ancestor of the ninjutsu, commonly known outside Japan as ninja. Juliana Malucelli hide caption

As an apprentice ninja, Raizo couldn't protect his girlfriend from Ozunu's brutality. This being an action movie, he gets a second chance to save a damsel in distress when the Black Sandies decide that Mika is getting too close to the truth.

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.

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.

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 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!

In the latest issue of Kungfu/Taichi magazine, I discussed in my column "Ninja Assassin" More Like Forest Devil Assassin" that although NINJA ASSASSIN is about Japanese ninja, the action fights look more like Chinese martial arts using Chinese martial arts-influenced fight choreography. I further noted that each series of techniques simply ends with a samurai or ninja-like pose. This was written prior to NINJA ASSASSIN's release and based on the trailers and publicity videos. Now, having watched NINJA ASSASSIN, I stand by my words, but my opinion of the film has turned much more positive. Among films with the best ninja action fights where you can actually see what's going on, Kuo Chue's Shaw Brothers film NINJA IN THE DEADLY TRAP (1981) and Ching Siu-tung's DUEL TO THE DEATH (1983) are still tops, but without a doubt NINJA ASSASSIN (NA) is the most exciting and engaging ninja film I have ever seen.

SPOILER ALERT. Rain drenches the screen as Raizo, one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, the orphaned Raizo is transformed into a trained killer by his rough, gruff and heartless surrogate father, Lord Ozuna (Sho Kosugi), the head of Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his heartthrob Kiriko by his "brother" Takeshi (Rick Yune), Raizo breaks free from Ozuna and vanishes into the shadows of the world. Ozuna and Raizo both become the lifelong number one nemesis of the other, each wanting to exact revenge - one for love, the other for honor and face. END SPOILER ALERT.

Elsewhere, in Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Mika digs into top-secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders as she makes the surreal discovery that the legendary nine ancient clans are real and that they have trained ninja assassins, who kill for 1000 ryos of gold (the Ogami Itto character in the LONE WOLF AND CUB series did it for 500what a bargain he was). Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers led by Takeshi to make her lose face (i.e., de-face her). Yet when Raizo saves Mika, he "make a" mockery of the Clan and adds fuel to the clan-destine confrontation in which the result of this cat and rat competition will end in a final conflagration filled with confusion and contusion for all. e24fc04721
