By: William Goss , reprinted from Fantastic Fest '09 One can't ask too much of a film called Ninja Assassin -- that's a given -- but James McTeigue's proper directorial follow-up to V for Vendetta does its damnedest to take that insta-pulp title and weave around it a worn-out tale of forbidden love, family betrayal, and government conspiracy. Complete with some hard-to-see fight scenes and some harder-to-hear...
If there's a single theme that runs through all of the movies that the Wachowski brothers are involved with, it's a constant inability to stage action scenes and drive a plot forward at the same time. Even as a fan of the first two Matrix films and yes, Speed Racer , it's impossible to ignore the fact that for some reason they just can't synthesize storytelling with set pieces. Thankfully, they seem...

I saw a commercial for Ninja Assassin this weekend with the tagline, "Only one ninja was harmed during the making of this movie. The rest...were killed!" OK, so that kind of gives away the ending - and thanks a lot - but it got me thinking if there were any new clips for the film online since we shared a bad-ass ninja brawl in the middle of traffic a few weeks ago.
