Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
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.
I enjoyed this film and recommend to those of you that watch anime as it has that feel about it. There are some great chatacters and fight sequences that are fun to watch. The script is not the best and the plot is not exactly deep or complex but it's not what this film about. Appreciate the film for what it is and just enjoy it.
This movie had the potential to be good...Like the violence but it was lacking something. Got to start somewhere...Let this be a learning curve...
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.
