The RZA's spiritual successor to Samurai Champloo. A delightfully adept homage to classic HK kung fu movies. Russel Crowe's greatest performance.

good as nostalgia homage to kungfu-fantasy of '70s Hong Kong cinema, but not as good as a movie: messy plot, uninteresting character, and terribly shot action sequences. this last, for a homage to kungfu flicks, is sort of a mortal sin...

Un pasticcio che non funziona. Troppi personaggi (introdotti con una serie di noiosissimi spiegoni) che funzionano male, un attitudine canina alla recitazione da parte di due dei protagonisti (RZA ha meno espressioni di un muro, Bautista andrebbe arrestato) e perfino le coreografie dei combattimenti (con un paio di eccezioni) non sorprendono. Finale frettoloso, ma che in questo caso diventa una fortuna.
