Ninjas are back on the big screen!
But does Ron warm to the ultra-violent antics of Ninja Assassin?
In the 80s, anyone could make a movie about ninjas and attract an audience.

There hasnt been a non-Mutant Ninja Turtle ninja movie in theaters in years.

Thats why Raizo lives his life on the run.
Basically, its the story of Raizo.
Thats the beauty and the bad part ofNinja Assassin.
Thats just how it is.
Once the ninja bloodshed starts, it just doesnt stop.
