In the biggest no-brainer of all time, this rave will be about Ninja Assassin.
Regular readers of my blog know I have been following Ninja Assassin since the movie was first announced. Me and my lovely wife have been following the movie's progress very avidly and could not wait to see the trailer.
Then the trailer was released and it looked like all our dreams had come true. Our boy, Rain was coming to America in a fantastic way. As firm supporters of Rain, his music, his shows, we were ready for it.
We kept ourselves pump on the way to the show (ironically the place is called 'Rave') by listening to our specially made Rain cd. We sat down with our confectionaries and then the show began.
The film blew away all my expectations and delivered hands down one of my most bloodiest, violent movies I have ever watched. The blood spurted, sprayed and flew, the plot was easy to follow, the characters had motivation and were believable. In the end, me and my wife were extremely satisifed.
Rain got his acting on, his English was surprisingly fluent and he brought the fury in the action scenes. Boy had some serious moves and he rocked our world.
On top of Rain, Sho Kosugi the father of all Ninja movies also delivered a virturoso come-back performance and it really pleased me that the directors/producers/writers gave him such a good showing. It was the equilvent of what Tarintino did for David Carridine in Kill Bill. A true movie legend was shown the respect he deserved in a genre he helped popularized. Naomi Harris also played a perfect foil for Rain, there exchanges were filled with humor, respect and some affection.
Props must also be given to the director/ cinematographer, the movie had many iconic moments that will stick with you after the credits rolled.
All in all, Transformers: Revenge of Fallen must move aside as my favorite movie of this year. This Year belongs to the Ninja.
