Ninja Assassin red-band trailer

Warning: only one ninja was harmed in the making of this trailer. The rest... were killed.

That's not just a witty intro, that's an actual quote from this new red-band, full-blooded trailer for Ninja Assassin courtesy of IGN. In fact, it's pretty much the only line of dialogue throughout the whole thing, but when you consider it's being produced by the Wachowski brothers, no dialogue is concordantly a good thing. Ergo. Vis a vis.

Ninja Assassin is released this weekend in the States, but won't be sneaking into UK cinemas until January next year. Early reviews say it's a heady mix of bloody fight scenes and ludicrous plot, including one review I just wrote in my head after watching this trailer.
