“Ninja Assassin” features the main character, Raizo, who is played by Rain.

Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Lee.  Better take cover, and move out of the way for Rain, because its pouring.

Rain is the Kung-fu star of the new movie “Ninja Assassin,” that was released Wednesday.

Rain is from South Korea, and he is actually a dancer, but meeting him when he’s had a bad day is not something that sounds like fun.

This movie was very action packed but it still had a good plot, regardless.

Although those with weak stomachs are strongly cautioned, quoting Timmy from Jurassic Park “so much blood.” Though it is fake blood, there is still a lot of it.

The plot line runs as such, there are secret clans of Ninja’s who will work for the equivalent of 100 pounds of gold about 1.5 million in today’s market.

In the movie the ninjas are after Mika because she has found out about them.

She also discovered about their stealing children and turning them into assassins who are then sent on missions to assassinate those who are marked.

Once Mika finds out she has become marked, and the Ninjas descend.

But, Raizo who has broken out of  broken out of the “family” saves her, he watched as the woman he fell in love with in the “Ninja Factory” killed because she ran away.

So he made a vow to kill his “father”(he is called the father because he considers the children he forms into Ninjas to be his children,) and he needs Mika to help him to accomplish this. 

Once the Ninjas find out that Mika knows they mark her for death, but Raizo saves her then they go on what one could describe as an action packed adventure.

The Ninja’s are never far behind, Raizo explains that they have their scent, and Mika asks “like dogs?” and Raizo answers, “no, like wolves.”

There’s no need to worry about not taking breaks during this movie or losing an attention span because the screen will not have changed much during a break.

There will still be Ninja stars and swords flying through the air just like the last time the screen was checked.

But be sure to look closely or the Ninjas themselves will go unnoticed, because they melt into the shadows.

That’s the only thing that could be missed.

Because, Ninjas are the hardest warriors to spot.  So always keep one eye open; they could be anywhere.
