Critics Consensus

Overly serious and incomprehensibly edited, Ninja Assassin fails to live up to the promise of its title.

Will Lawrence Empire Magazine Decent ingredients but, as a whole, this is lacking in choreographic flair and plot substance. Rated: 2/5 Jan 22, 2010 Full Review David Jenkins Time Out A garish and poorly filmed chop-socky frolic that makes about as much sense as an Escher painting viewed through Vaseline-smudged Ray-Bans. Rated: 1/5 Jan 22, 2010 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Ninja Assassin is final proof that the once innovative Wachowski Brothers have indeed lost their creative mojo. Rated: 1/5 Jan 22, 2010 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Ninja Assassin isn’t a bad movie; it’s just not very involving. The viewer watches from a safe distance as limbs are lopped off, and blood erupts from the body like volcanic blasts, but the ninja rules remain ambiguous. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Bloodthirsty doesn't even begin to describe the level of splattering carnage found throughout. Rated: 7/10 Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The recipe is equal parts redundant storyline, weak computer generated special effects, poorly developed lighting, and horridly choreographed fight scenes. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

LOKESH K It's a good movie it should have a second part Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Toms c Not a genre I usually watch but I’ve seen this film a few times now and it’s just enjoyable fun. I love it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Amaz D Absolutely amazing movie. Critics (🤡) reviews are ridiculous, pointless, and often fake. Never take what they say into consideration Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Angelo L Anyone who says this is a poorly made movie is obviously a puny, jealous, envious person. In my honest opinion this movie has got to be the best martial arts movie ever made. From the storyline down to the cinematics this movie is the greatest of all time. The action and bloodshed is amazing. MK got nothing on this movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Tante T Ratings for this movie are way too low in my opinion. One of the best Ninja/Assassin movies out there! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review collins l Simply the best ninja movie/Fighting movie I've seen, and i saw it back in 2009 and its 2025, non can compare honestly Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
