Skip it. This is a origin story for a character nobody asked about, wrapped in a generic ninja movie template that's been done to death. Even if you're a G.I. Joe completist, there's nothing here that justifies two hours of your night when there are better action films out there.

Plot

After saving the life of their heir apparent, tenacious loner Snake Eyes is welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage where he is taught the ways of the ninja warrior. But, when secrets from his past are revealed, Snake Eyes' honor and allegiance will be tested – even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.
