Without doubt this was the bloodiest ninja/kung fu movie I've ever seen.
A secret clan of ninjas--that has existed for centuries--globally commits assassinations for the fee of 100 pounds of gold. The ninjas are brought up as children in a rigorous, despotic, brutal environment where survival of the fittest means life or death and betrayal or escape mean certain death. Raizo (Rain) was one such child under the rule of a vicious leader until he made his escape.
For you kung fu heads out there; this movie had some good fight scenes. The biggest drawback is that many of them were at night and difficult to see.
For you kung fu heads that like to see bloody dismemberment; you'll get your fill.
The mortal blows that resulted in extreme blood spatter was really for the oohs and aahs. It was like they were saying, "This was an excellent ninja strike and this bucket of blood spewing everywhere is how you know."
A lot of the blood was in CGI form ala 300 and other movies which gives it a graphic novel feel but there were also the traditional blood scenes that--although unrealistic in the amount--were more realistic.
This was a fun and exciting movie that wasn't too deep and didn't give you much to think about. Just sit back, relax and let the fighting begin.
