Ham fisted?

The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

Directed and co-written by RZA this film features it's director, Russell Crowe, Cung Le, Lucy Lui and Byron Mann. In 19th century China various gangs fight over control of a village and a government gold shipment.

This film is a mish mash of styles mostly in the style of a martial arts film but also with elements of exploitation cinema and spaghetti westerns. It might not be Tarantino but frankly who is and what we are left with a decent genre entry. Largely the film is well made but lacks any special flair to stand it apart from other films of this type.


3/5
