The Man with the Iron Fists

At times the inexperienced hand of writer\director\star RZA manifests in a clumsiness that threatens to drown the film, but that grindhouse rawness is also refreshing, and the movie is never less than fervent and reverential towards its inspirations.  Certainly not for everyone, but if an unapologetic martial arts fantasy that is part Shaw Brothers, part Leone, part Staten Island hip hop culture sounds appealing in the least, put your Ws up, sit down, and witness a unique creative mind at work putting his mark on a new medium.  Wu Tang Forever.
