Wu Tang Clan mainman RZA joins filmmakers Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth & Robert Rodriguez in the gang of directors who have seen too many bad movies, by creating The Man With The Iron Fists.
A schlocky, hilariously violent martial arts hip-hop film that fails to bring anything new to the table but serves the viewer a colorful platter of wonderfully choreographed fight scenes and deliciously over-the-top performances from Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu and Byron Mann. It's unevenly focused, sloppily edited and seems to forget it's main character needs a personality or shred of development, yet somehow it still manages to charm and entertain. In short, it's bad, fun crap.
