Kierre's Review of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins 2021 ★★½
Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is of course an origins film staring Henry Golding as Snake Eyes. In this film his father is killed back when he was a child and he grows up hoping someday to seek revenge. As an adult and while working in a fish market he ends up saving the life of man who offers to repay his debt to him by having him come and train with his Ninja clan.
This is really all you need to know. I thought the film was ok. As an action junkie, it does have action but is a PG-13 film so it isn't quite as badass as I had hoped. The story is muddled and most of the real action is saved for the end. I just wasn't a huge fan of this one, and if you really want to see a great action film about a man being trained in Ninjitsu, then I would suggest watching Ninja Assassin instead.
