They are also completely metallic, with a few streaks of blood. User reviews Review. Top review. After reading a couple of reviews, i was prepared to come out of the theatre disappointed, but what i saw on screen was a fantastic homage to a a genre that has become a bit of a joke I cannot understand why this movie could get a negative review.
You are paying money to watch a film about violent assassins and this is exactly what you get. Blood by the bucket load, dismemberment, decapitation, all the things you would expect from a Ninja movie.
I would pay to watch this again, and can only hope that 18 rated movies are not a thing of the past, and that this one does well at the box office so a sequel can be made.

The movie was filmed in Berlin, so McTeigue went around to all the local martial arts schools and found a handful of kids who seemed like they knew what they were doing. It didn't matter that many of them were German—in the movie, Ozunu gets his orphans from all over the world, so having different nationalities didn't present a problem.
Once the kids were picked, they were given a little extra training and then the cameras started rolling. In his own Hollywood way, McTeigue grabbed up a bunch of children the same way Ozuni did in the film. Guess life really does imitate art. Ninja Assassin has a lot of blood, there's no doubt about that.
From the guy getting his head sliced in half at the beginning to the slice-and-dice choreography when the ninja clan finds Raizo in the Europol safehouse, Ninja Assassin 's visceral brand of violence is a centerpiece of the film's action.
You could almost say it's part of the movie's charm. And of course, it was all done on purpose. McTeigue has mentioned in interviews that he watched a lot of anime to come up with the style he used in the film, and a lot of that was centered on the way the blood looked.
While it's definitely gory, there's almost an art to the way the blood splashes across the screen when a ninja gets disemboweled. Rather than going for realism, he wanted the blood to be so over-the-top, so stylized, that the audience could have fun watching dozens of people die horrible deaths—and more importantly, he just wanted it to be bloody. As he put it, "what's a ninja movie without blood, right? In the opening scene of Ninja Assassin , an old tattoo artist explains that he's seen the ninja assassins once before, and the only reason he's still alive is because his heart is on the wrong side of his chest; when the ninjas stabbed him in the heart, they missed.
Later in the movie, that same gimmick comes up again. Only it's not entirely a gimmick, because that heart-on-the-wrong-side thing is totally real. It's called situs inversus , and it happens when a person's internal organs are flipped around to the opposite side of the body. It's pretty rare, so yeah, the chances of two people who are targeted by the same ninja clan having situs inversus is a stretch, but it's certainly not unheard of.
Even some celebrities, like singer Enrique Iglesias , have situs inversus. So say what you want about Iglesias, but the guy's pretty much immune to ninjas. The movie originated as a joke. Rain did his own stunts. Raizo's chain weapon was invented just for the movie. And Rain learned how to really use it.
The script was written in 53 hours Getty Images. Sho Kosugi is a ninja legend. The orphans were random German kids. The blood was styled like anime. A real heartbreaker.
