The Man With the Iron Fists
"Red Band" Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Lucy Liu as Not-O-Ren Ishii, Russell Crowe as a pleasure seeking cowboy, Dave Batista as a colossal golden iron-man, and RZA as the rarely seen main character.
Scene Pop: RZA popping someone's eyeball out of its socket.
Briggs Breakdown: 15 kills, 8 throat slashes, 2 gunshots, a sanctioned beheading, a destroyed bell, and one flying eyeball.
Effective?: Yes and No. It promises violence and kung-fu battles but the story falls by the wayside.
Check it Out?: Cult folk only. This is not going to be another kung-fu crossover flick; It is possibly destined to be placed next to the misguided failure The Warrior's Way. Hopefully, the action will stand up, unless it is just more bad CGI work. Also, I do wish the story will matter beyond being RZA's rapidly scribbled drawings in his trapper keeper.
