Who would have thought Korean pop superstar Rain is capable of carrying an action film? At first, I had my doubts when I heard he was going to headline Wachowski's produce Ninja Assassin but a stunt reel has turn up on Youtube that convinced me to reconsider my judgment of him as just another pretty boy. The stunt reel showcase Rain in top physical shape and training swordplay choreography with the 87Eleven stunt team to prepare him for the fight scenes. I'm impress on how well Rain is able to move swiftly under a complicated set of steps. This will definitely get the fangirls swooning hysterically.
Raizo is one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them...and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East.

Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi, to silence her forever.
