Review of Ninja Assassin

We went into this with low expectations, other than expecting the writing to be fun (the only reason we gave it a change at all was J. Michael Straczynski). It's not Great Cinema, but it is a fun action film. The gore is, for the most part, stylized, so it wasn't as bad as we'd expected, but still not for the squeamish. They even manage to justify using both "ninja" and "assassin," in a couple of ways.
