Coming from the makers of The Matrix, 'Ninja Assassins' explores the story of deadly trained Ninja assassins who seek to-well-cause destruction really. While encompassing none of the philosophical might of the Matrix, Ninja Assassins definitely gives the Matrix fighting scenes a run for their money. It is definitely more violent. It also takes place in Berlin. Ninjas Assassins is one of the most violent films I have ever seen! A bold statement I know-but somehow the film works! After uncovering the Ninjas plans, a police journalist is under serious threats to her life, aided only by the formerly most brilliant and skilled ninja of this pack who has long since escaped. We learn through various strands of narration that this protector, who once fell for a girl in this pack is out for vengeance. Every member in this 'family' has been raised to see sensitivity as a sign of weakness and to destroy it at all times: strength is the only thing worth striving for. This girl has a personality and 'heart' antithetical to the philosophy of this 'family'. I won't divulge more for fear of giving away the plot. Ninja Assassins is well worth the money. Very well directed, fantastic fight scenes, excellent post-production sound. Another recommendation.
