Upon its release in 2009, Ninja Assassin received mixed reviews from critics. Many acknowledged that it was "no work of storytelling perfection," with a predictable plot and cardboard characters [3†L22-L26][8†L41-L45]. The main criticism was that the story played second fiddle to the action [8†L25-L26].
The use of the kusarigama (a chain-and-sickle weapon) delivers fluid, circular combat choreography that defines Raizo’s fighting style.
