Pallium Invisibilitatem
Nothing upto the mark.....music is good at only select few parts...complete waste of time and talent. It seems like he wanted to make a movie out of second half of Kill Bill 1 with a minor changes but he is no Quentin!!! 11 years 3 months ago -

The RZA's homage to Shaw Brothers-style martial arts films. I thought it would be geared more towards comedy, but no, it really owes more to Chang Cheh's clan warfare films. Like those movies, everyone has their own highly unusual style and weapons, the violence is extremely gory (the film was co-written and co-produced by Eli Roth, so), and the female characters are only ever allowed to be prostitutes (not quite true here, and those roles are much bigger and memorable than Chang would ever have allowed). But it's not humorless! Byron Mann's villain approaches George Takei levels of camp charm, and Russell Crowe, never usually my favorite, steals the show as "Jack Knife". Don't look for the RZA's blacksmith/narrator character to show much emotion though, he only ever has a single expression. The Man with the Iron Fists is a highly entertaining film whether you get the genre references or not, though some may find the gore and explicit sexuality (all the more shocking because it's done without nudity) hard on their sensibilities. 8 years 10 months ago
