First, the film itself. Ninja Assassin is not a good movie by traditional critical standards. Directed by James McTeigue ( V for Vendetta ) and produced by the Wachowskis, it is a B-movie with an A-budget. It stars Rain (the Korean pop icon) as Raizo, a tortured killer seeking revenge against the clan that made him a monster.
The film's inspiration was drawn from real-life events, including the existence of the Japanese ninja tradition and the darker side of martial arts. The movie's action sequences, choreographed by Master Dee C Dai, were a testament to the skill and athleticism of the performers, showcasing a blend of ninja techniques and modern martial arts. ninja assassin 2009 720pmkv filmyflycom link
