Review

Lucy Liu and Russell Crowe appear to be nice fits for their respective roles in Man with the Iron Fists. The former comes off as a more openly conniving version of her character in Kill Bill, while Crowe can aptly handle the stoic-but-deadly warrior archetype at this point in his career (after Gladiator and Robin Hood). Curiously enough, though, we don’t get too much of a feel for RZA’s performance as the title character (in this trailer).

On that note: Man with the Iron Fists marks RZA’s feature-length directorial debut, which means he has something to prove; unfortunately, that also means he doesn’t have previous experience to draw from. For that reason, the final product will partly be determined by the quality of screenplay RZA has written for himself.
