Ninja Assassin can best be appreciated when viewed as either a straight out action flick or as a tale of redemption where even a highly trained killer can make moral choices. The action scenes in this film are highly stylized using slowed down or sped up motions and are characterized by depictions of graphic violence. It would probably appeal to a viewer who has seen other films done in the same style. As a tale of redemption, Ninja Assassin is not unique. Maverick characters abound in film. The acting efforts here, I would say, are average mainly because the emoting tends to get sandwiched between the action scenes. This film is one that can be viewed on small screen gadgets without losing much.
