Korea Herald On the Ninja Assassin Movie

Has anyone seen this movie?  Is it any good because the Korea Herald sure doesn’t think so?:

But it seems somewhere down the line the creative vision of the producers and the director clashed without either camp realizing.

Perhaps they realized during post-production they had a potential turkey on their hands – the film’s marketing has focused on Rain and the physical transformation he underwent during six months of grueling training with the stunt and fight team that trained the actors in “300.”

And the result is there on the screen. The 28-year-old actor is shown sans shirt as if he’s allergic to fabric except for a leather jacket.

He’s ripped. His female fans will love him – as long as they don’t get too squeamish from seeing all the blood.

He does a decent job with the few lines he has throughout the 98-minute running time.

The verdict is still out on whether this will be his breakthrough role and it will be interesting to see if his star power alone will be able to generate enough revenue in Asia to warrant future high-profile roles.  [Korea Herald]

    I was looking forward to seeing this movie (not losing any sleep over it, but it seems like good fun)…Now that I know it’s from the same guys who did Speed Racer, I’m not so sure anymore.

    Don’t think it has been released yet actually.
