User Reviews
This movie is for people who like Martial Arts Films with a Hip Hop Flair
Plot was a bit weaker than the first. These types of films are not made to win Oscars. The Rza has spoken widely on his, and the Wu-Tang Clan's love of Eastern thought and specifically Kung-Fu films. I think is just another love song to that genre and a reference to milieu that might be a little odd to westerners not familiar with the Asian culture. I think the Rza in his own small way is trying to touch on concepts and loftier concepts , just not being an adept at storytelling, one can see gaps and weaknesses in the arc and theme, but someone attempting this type of film, especially an African-American man from Staten Island, it is an interesting and fulfilling way to spend a couple hours.
