The Man With The Iron Fists (2012)


I watched The Man With The Iron Fists for you and unless you're a fan of Asian movies and alot of craziness than this movie isn't for you.  It does say on the title Quentin Tarantino presents, leading you to believe it was made by Quentin.  It was not it was produced by him which basically means he heard the story and maybe gave a couple notes on the movie.  It was directed and written by RZA, and it stars RZA (WuTang Clan), Russell Crowe (Gladiator), Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels).  Now while watching this it does have alot of stuff straight out of a Quentin Tarantino movie, old western theme, newer music, lots of blood and violence, crazy weapons.  All those things do make it interesting, I really didn't care for the story much but the action scenes were very cool and the weapons they use are inventive and interesting.  The basic story is about a treasure of mass amounts of gold is sought after several families of warriors and assassins, after it's located in a town all hell breaks loose and the blacksmith played by RZA gets involved and has to help protect his town and family.  This movie is available to rent or own now.

I give this movie 2 stars for some cool action scenes but really could've been condensed into a half an hour bloody kick ass mini movie.
