An ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage welcomes tenacious loner Snake Eyes after he saves the life of their heir apparent. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teach him the ways of the ninja warrior while also providing him something he's been longing for: a home. However, when secrets from Snake Eyes' past are revealed, his honor and allegiance get tested – even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.
Critic Reviews:
- " Snake Eyes could very well be the start of something special: A cinematic universe that at least has the depth of characters and story-lines to eventually go toe-to-toe with Marvel, with albeit a smaller but much more fervent fan-base. " – Tom Santilli (Movie Show Plus)
- " A satisfying martial-arts action-adventure with two magnetic leads, a heap of lightning-quick swordplay and the best argument yet for a G.I. Joe cinematic universe. " – Brian Truitt (USA Today)
- " Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is a fine movie with lots of action and interesting characters who could benefit from a more balanced story. " – Brandon Davis (ComicBook.com)
