For me, it usually involves music. Last year, it occurred in Davis Guggenheim's documentary "It Might Get Loud," when Jimmy Page air-guitared to his own old 45 of Link Wray's "Rumble." This year (and it's early yet), it happened in "The Book of Eli" in which directors Albert and Allen Hughes make the inspired decision to meld Denzel Washington with Al Green.

So. How is it? Does it look like a billion? It does, yes. But folks, I haven’t experienced such a clear dividing line within a blockbuster in years. Last week the reviews started trickling, then gushing, over the dam of the embargo set up by 20th Century Fox.

The camera is almost always locked-down when it should be, as in a few moments when we see action through a shaking rear-view mirror, jumpy and nervous. There’s one arresting shot — a chase, on foot, viewed through the tiny holes in a long row of stacked pipes.

Logic has no more place in this exuberantly absurd ‘B’ movie, which never tries to be anything but a slick update of the cheap martial arts thrillers distributed by Cannon Films in the 1980s. To its credit, the movie dispenses almost entirely with romance and other story elements to focus on nonstop mayhem. beifuss@commercialappeal.com (John Beifuss)Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:31:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.gomemphis.com:news-Story-166721-733735movies/reviewsJohn BeifussMemphis, TNFilm Review: In 'Ninja Assassin,' blood flows like gravy, and we love itGo Memphisfilm-review-ninja-assassin-blood-flows-gravy-and-wurn:publicid:www.gomemphis.com:news-Story-166721-733735Change733735Usable
