The premise

Ninja Assassin follows Raizo, 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.

Horror Vault's take

Raizo was stripped of a normal childhood when a shadowy clan of assassins forged him into one of the world's most lethal killers. Years of brutal training and a devastating personal loss push him to the edge of defection — and toward a dangerous path of his own making. When a determined government researcher begins pulling at threads that could expose the clan's existence, their two worlds collide in a storm of blades and blood. This is a relentless, hyper-stylized martial arts thriller that doesn't shy away from extreme carnage.
