Critics Consensus

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

Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review 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 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

Audience Member I love this movie I remember watching this when I was little and now I just re-watch this. I love the action, the choreography and the main actor. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review James S Not the best movie in the world, but certainly a good time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Michael E We don't get to see ninjas in movies very often nowadays. It's unfortunate cuz I miss the days when martial arts films like this came out regularly. This film gave me everything I wanted from a ninja film. The action and fight sequences were incredible. This movie is Awesome. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Dani G Extremely violent and goreish. Action packed, bad acting, lame script, and very graphic killings Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Orion P Really enjoyable and on the top of all, the fighting scenes and those traning scenes, Gosh! All are so f ucking mind blowing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Luciano D I love it. Excelent ninja story, fight and action. I fell like a vídeo game like god of war 3 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
