Well…SCARS was able to screen the blood soaked Matrix Trilogy follow up project, co- produced by the Wachowski boys, Ninja Assassin.

When I say blood soaked, I mean blood soaked. Oh, and not good blood either. Friggin CGI blood. The kills were inventive, but the plot reminded me of a more up to date, evil “Kung Fu” TV movie.

The opening had a great Tarantino feel to it, but lost me once they tried to develop the token FBI agents and started quoting from the action-movie-cliche bible.
