They shout “WOKE” and “COMMUNISM” before they strike! Keep your red hats at home, and check every rooftop before you walk under it! 🥷⚔️

neutral · AI labelView post →One of my all time favorite reviews is the critic basically throwing up their hands and saying — I’d complain about the mindless violence, but the film is titled NINJA ASSASSIN, so anyone buying a ticket has to know what to expect. Wish I had clipped it. May try to track down.
neutral · AI labelView post →James McTeigue’s Ninja Assassin, produced by the Wachowskis… what a kick-ass movie! Bloody as hell, sharp as hell action, perfectly cast, and honestly, deeply underrated. #filmskya #moviesky
positive · AI labelView post →Hate to correct my good friend but I believe this was actually NINJA ASSASSIN, part of a three-movie Thanksgiving marathon we ran that may have also included PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS. Don't remember the third film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today, I have "Ninja" starring Scott Adkins on in the background This one's from 2009. It's a martial arts action film like "Ninja Assassin," and it also stars folks like Tsuyoshi Ihara (he was also in "13 Assassins" in 2010)
neutral · AI labelView post →I decided to watch Ninja Assassin, a terrible movie with maybe the most stereotypical and convoluted storyline and lore. And it’s the exact kinda trash I wanted today.
negative · AI labelView post →Share an ACTION movie title that begins with the letter N 🎥🖤 Ninja Assassin, an often overlooked film

neutral · AI labelView post →okay look, I was fine with NINJA ASSASSIN, but I'm not really a fan of these "exactly what it says on the tin" movie titles PLANE K-POP DEMON HUNTERS CAUGHT STEALING short titles are great: HEAT and PARASITE and BARBARIAN are evocative, you think about the title and how it connects to the story
neutral · AI labelView post →this is the same friend who made a bunch of us go to the second run movie theater to watch Ninja Assassin, a movie i hated so much i spent more than half of it smoking outside the building
negative · AI labelView post →Me five minutes ago: This ‘Ninja Assassin’ movie looks kind of interesting, but sounds kind of generic. I wonder if I’ve seen it before. They all kind of run together. Me now: I have definitely not seen this movie before.

positive · AI labelView post →This is a) great and b) the EXACT opposite of the one time my mom called me just as I was heading into the theatre and she was like "What movie?" and I said "Ninja Assassin" and she said "Oh! What's that about?"

neutral · AI labelView post →Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score. Ninja Assassin: A bloody, sexy rampage produced by the Wachowski Sisters and directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta). I feel like in 2009 this was a little early for the operatically violent murder-ballets re-popularised by John Wick.

neutral · AI labelView post →I saw a film called "Ninja Assassin" in the theater, and even the most perfectly choreographed fight scene becomes pointless when it's two people clad head to toe in black battling in a dark room. I can tell you that the Foley artist did an exemplary job, though.
negative · AI labelView post →See, the younger generations don't know pain. Y'all ever see the movie Ninja Assassin? When young Raizo was trying to sneak past the creaky floor? Well, we had to learn to ninja walk across this painful ass mat & not catch a belt or punishment. For coming in a 2AM, 4/5AM into the house.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember the movie "Ninja Assassin"? I don't have any insights about it, I just think we should remember things exist sometimes
neutral · AI labelView post →The 2010 one. The cinematography and choreography are so damn good. It was one of those movies I watched the first time thinking it was going to be a shitty B action movie like Ninja Assassin. Didn't realize it was a well made remake of a classic till partway through when I still wasn't disappointed
neutral · AI labelView post →Besides being a rite of passage for sons to become the clan's soldiers, it's a stern reminder for Zenith to remember that Aiden's going through a worse grief than him. This was based on a scene from that Ninja Assassin movie where the clan master cut open his own palms and they healed immediately.

Her first acting role was at age 11, in Nippon TV’s 2004 production of Annie, and her film debut was in James McTeigue’s 2009 film Ninja Assassin. She was also one of the lead vocalists of the girl group Faky from 2013-2018.

positive · AI labelView post →Ninja Assassin is a terrible movie that I still think about to this day. Incredibly stupid, even when I was 17, and also great fun.

"So your girlfriend dragged you to that TWILIGHT movie last weekend? Get your revenge this weekend by taking her to see NINJA ASSASSIN!"
neutral · AI labelView post →That's Raizo from Ninja Assassin, that movie is underrated.

positive · AI labelView post →shoutout to terrible 2009 movie “Ninja Assassin” which i saw on a whim with a date. I was very nervous for the date but the movie was so entertaining in its schlocky nature that i got comfortable quick. that girl didn’t end up dating me further but i never forgot how terrible the cgi blood was
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember this song! 😊 Have you seen Ninja Assassin? There's a lot of shirtless Rain in that movie. 💜
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw Ninja Assassin in Manila. The cinema itself was enormous. It was also air conditioned. There was a fair amount of chatting during the film. I suspect a lot of people went there as a cheap way to get out of the heat.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ninja Kamuy was such a bummer. Fuck that worthless anime, just watch the 2009 Ninja Assassin movie and you'll have an infinitely better time seeing ninjas killing cops/cops killing ninjas.

positive · AI labelView post →I don't know why, but when I first saw this, it actually reminded me of that one movie called Ninja Assassin from 2009.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my fave reviews was for NINJA ASSASSIN. Reviewer complained about the over the top violence, but then admitted that the film was called NINJA ASSASSIN, so audience couldn’t really complain.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love Underwater! The cast is amazing, but the style carries it past what should be such a threadbare plot. The Meg 2 made me appreciate Underwater that much more, lol. Also, love the callback to Ninja Assassin, a movie that was as close to a modern take on Crying Freeman as we'll get.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't condone assassination (except Ninja Assassin that movie rules) but I can *understand* how people deeply affected by them would go to extreme measures.
positive · AI labelView post →desperately need a movie marathon where we go back and forth on our most beloved films we know are HORRIBLE and defend them bar for bar 😫 like ik Ninja Assassin has the emotional range of a Sears commercial BUT HEAR ME OUT
