Ninjas movies are supposed to be about martial arts, a la Bruce Lee and Jet Li. What you expect are some graceful moves and clean, fast action. What Ninja Assassin serves instead is 2 hours of diluted ketchup splashing all over (they even make absolutely sure you make the connection right at the beginning of the movie), commandos in Kevlars and super sophisticated arms being cut into pieces by tiny "starry" knives, wavy camera work enough to give a paralysed man a serious fit, and some long periods of torturous scenes of torture.
Not worth it, unless you like ketchup on your sandwich.
