10 Underrated Action Movies That Didn't Deserve To Bomb At The Box Office

10. Ninja Assassin

Whether you'd enjoy Ninja Assassin or not can most likely be determined by how you feel about the title, which pretty much hits the nail on the head in terms of the entire plot of the movie.

Sure, the cinematography is so dark that sometimes you can barely see what the hell is going on, and the characters are so thin that you could cut through them with a butter knife never mind a samurai sword, but nobody watches a movie called Ninja Assassin expecting much in the way of substance or depth.

Wachowski protege and V for Vendetta director James McTeigue fully embraces the absurd levels of graphic violence and bloodletting that you'd expect from an R-rated, neo-noir martial arts flick, and while the acting performances and dialogue are admittedly and very frequently terrible, the wall-to-wall mayhem has seen it become a firm favorite among genre fans in the decade since it barely scraped past the $60m mark at the box office.
