One of the worst films I’ve seen recently
RZA’s film has some amount of imagination,but, simply put, he has no idea how to build, pace, or tell a story. He has made the unfortunate mistake of imitating a genre he loves without understanding what makes it work. The dialogue is half nonsensical exposition, half nauseating one-liners. Lots of clumsy penis and vagina jokes.

The plot is so diffuse…there is not enough time given to any character for them to be read as an actual character. The film fails in tying together any of these frayed threads and also fails to make what happens in any of them significant or sensible. For example there is a “betrayal” plot which happens in the first two minutes of the film, when there is no context to make that betrayal meaningful, make the traitor seem particularly villainous, etc. The acting is very broad and simplistic, which I guess is to be expected given the things RZA expects them to say. He doesn’t seem to understand that all of these things, the characters, dialogue, plot points, etc. are pointless without a proper context.

Some people might be inclined to tell me it’s the “point” of the movie to not have a story, to be a loose framework on which a series of fight scenes are hung. I’d first suggest that that is not a meaningful effort to make. But even as a visual spectacle or stylistic effort, it doesn’t do very well. All of the fights are basically the same knife/sword play… none of the characters really have a specific fighting style, and the CGI gore lopped onto the fights is excessive and silly. The music cues are embarrassingly overdone…any time the film wants you to feel an emotion, the sappiest orchestral music instantly kicks in, to the beat of a hip hop song.

I think it’s possible that RZA could make a good film someday, but this certainly isn’t it.

Good or bad? A matter of taste
Reading through IMDb I saw a lot of negative reviews on this movie. Are they correct, is this really a terrible movie? I thinks it’s a matter of perspective.

If you came in to this movie expecting an intelligent plot combined with nice action you will be fooled. But if you just want a fun ride through martial arts this is a must watch. The story is a very thin one. The governor wants to travel a shipment of gold through a city. Several parties within the city have their own reasons to take the money.

The pacing of this movie is good, there aren’t any real dull moments. It just flows from action sequence to action sequence. The only story that is told is the absolute necessary. You definitely don’t get a chance to get bored.

The action? I found it great. It’s a big spectacle, huge fights which are filmed and executed beautifully. Since this movie is made by hip hop artist RZA you can expect the soundtracks for this movie to be rap, and it actually suits the fighting nicely. The split-screens and other camera tactics work in the movies favor, giving it a very fast impression.

Acting is on a pretty high level for this type of movie. Hollywood stars Russel Crowe and Lucy Liu seem to have fun acting, we see Rick Yune again (starred in the first Fast&furious) and RZA acts solid, not great but a decent performance.

Overall, not a movie that will go down in movie history but a simple, fun ride filled with martial arts.
