![]() There were a few moments (and by few I mean, maybe two or three) that felt like almost jokes, but took themselves way too seriously. The very least they could have done was add a hint of humor to lighten the mood, play up on the fact that this could never actually happen. But this action was unrelenting and self-indulgent. Just when I thought I was watching the climax, they found a way to keep it going, exhausting every scene thereafter-and robbing and battles of their “coolness.” Don’t get me wrong, I am normally one for a good action film. It was almost like watching a series of worn out jokes, and I found myself checking the time every several minutes to find out when it would be over. Despite the almost constant action and fighting sequences, I found the experience dull and uninviting. I have to be frank and say that “Ninja Assassin” was a pain to sit through. Digging too deep into their history makes Mika a target of these assassins, and she teams up with Raizo (Rain), an ex-assassin who escaped the clan and has been waiting to exact his revenge. The film follows forensic researcher Mika ( Naomie Harris) as she tries to uncover the mystery of the Ozunu Clan, a secret society who transforms orphans into merciless killers. “Ninja Assassin” has plenty to offer in the way of killing-sprees, but not so much as far as being even slightly interesting or original goes. “Fear not the weapon but the hand that wields it!” ![]() Pictures, Legendary Pictures, Dark Castle Entertainment, Silver Pictures, Anarchos Productions, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Studio Babelsberg, Translux, William Fay, Christoph Fisser, Grant Hill, Jon Jashni, Roberto Malerba, Henning Molfenter, Joel Silver, Thomas Tull, Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski, Charlie Woebcken Sung Kang, Randall Duk Kim, Jonathan Chan-Pensley, Yuki Iwamoto, Ill-Young Kim, Ben Miles, Naomie Harris, Rain, Stephen Marcus, Linh Dan Pham, Yu Fang, Adriana Altaras, Shô Kosugi, Kylie Liya Goldstein, Yoon Sungwoong, Eleonore Weisgerber, Wladimir Tarasjanz, Joon Lee, Kai Fung Rieck, Anna Sawai, Thorston Manderlay, Richard van Weyden, Mina Ghousi, Hans Hohlbein, Rick Yune, Nhi Ngoc Nguyen-Hermann, Guido Föhrweißer, Tim Williams, David Leitch, Wolfgang Stegemann, Steffen Groth, Jens Neuhaus, Patrick Pinheiro, Matthias Schendel, Johannes Ahn VIOLENCE-How does viewing violence in movies affect families?
