Reviews

fredroyer For those of you who grew up in the 80s like me, the old time USA channel only had things to show: WWF, and badly dubbed Kung Fu movies produced by the Shaw Brothers.The plot, as it were, is a combination of all of those movies. The movie is hysterical. No one involved is taking themselves seriously (how could they?) and wow, it sure does look like Russell Crowe is having the time of his life.

Nasty_Itch This is easily the worst movie I've ever watched. And I have watched a ton of cheap kung-fu flicks, and they are, despite their low production, shallow story lines and predictable plots, waaaaaay better than this... movie.First of all - the plot is horrible. It's just so incredibly dumb. It makes sense that rap "artist" is behind this wreck, because the dialogue, the scenery, everything is so tacky and cringy and awful it hurts. Even something banal, like character hairstyles, makes you want to stop watching, it's so unconvincing a laughably bad. And even the fighting scenes, which are supposed to be the strongest point of this genre, are just horrible. The battle choreography is extremely lousy done and chaotic. Tacky colors don't help either. And above all that comes the sad llama face of the main protagonist, whose acting skills can be compared to those of a brick. I can't in all honesty believe that somebody actually read this script and said "let's do this". There is absolutely nothing good about it. I'm still in shock from what I've seen. I can't imagine bigger fail than making an homage to kung-fu classics in this day and age with all the technology and cinematography available and creating a movie which is undeniably worse than those flicks made with rope and stick 30 or 40 years ago. A fail of epic proportions. And they made a sequel. Unfathomable.

curiousjasmine This movie is very far fetched, and anachronistic in clarity. It does get better as time progress but at some point near the end you will be relieved when it is finally over. There is sex and profanity but that seems to be dull compared to all of the cartoonish gore. The plot and writing style and the sprinkle of celebrity appearances will probably keep you hanging on for as long as you can bear. There is a point in the movie that I consider a shift and a surprising element you might find that to be of some entertainment. the action goes from worse to extraordinary at some points so I again encourage you to hang out for those parts. This film is bound to at least give you a chuckle at the beginning.

grantss Chaotic mess. Random plot, silly dialogue, wooden performances. Fight scenes are your standard martial arts fare, ie well-choreographed and ridiculous. Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu are only there to give the movie star power. Even they seem to be just going through the motions. Crowe is also let down by having some of the dumbest lines in the movie, and having to put on a really silly accent. Goodness knows why he took the gig - maybe he needs the money. Don't be fooled by the "Quentin Tarantino presents..." in the title. He has nothing to do with this film, and will endorse any movie. (Seriously, I don't think he's ever disliked any movie). Give it a miss.
