Rating: 6 out of 10, A real, almost hopeless mess but kind of sneaky fun to watch. I guess this was RZA’s (whoever the hell he is – rap is anathema to me) passion project and ode to martial arts films. Unfortunately RZA chose to “act” in this as well which was a big mistake. I gave this a watch because Tarantino was involved in some murky way. I almost gave it up and then Russell Crowe, of all people, showed up and started to just chew up scenery. There were a couple of other big stars in very minor roles which is always kind of cool. You could see Maximus just having a ball with the genre, not to mention just tearing up a house of ill repute run by Lucy Liu. I’m still trying to figure out why the sex and bath tub scenes had fully clothed women, I mean there are over a billion Chinese – so they know better. Real chaos but almost mesmerizingly so.
MVP: Yune as Zen Yi, the X-Blade (I’m not kidding)
