I just finish watching “Ninja Assassin” and it was impressive. I like the whole story of the assassin gone rouge but I felt as if the storyline was missing something but I’m not sure what exactly. I thought the movie was awesome overall and was actually surprised at the end when Mika (played by Naomie Harris) was stabbed at the end. When I realized she was still alive it was when Raizo (played by Rain) was carrying her out and I thought about the old man in the beginning who was also stabbed by an assassin before. The one thing that I just could not get over was the amount of fake blood used in the fight scenes. The used a combination of fake blood an animated blood using CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery). For example it seemed like every time someone was cut no matter where or how big the cut at least 20 gallons of blood ran out. At the end when Raizo defeats his old master it’s like a fountain of blood that shoots out of his body like it was the most natural thing.

*I give “Ninja Assassin” a 7 out of 10*

I have included the movie trailer but since it does not show any of the over bloody fight scenes I mentioned I also included a video of one. The one I picked uses a lot of blood but I am pretty sure other scenes have used more.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Iy3Dg3OK4
