Go Hard

This weekend, I watched The Man with the Iron Fists. It was entertaining enough, but it had quite a few flaws. The action starts to slow down when the movie starts to show where the character played by RZA comes from. The directing gets weird at the end, with the screen separating itself. The concept of mixing martial arts and hip-hop together could have been pushed further. In the first half of the movie, a lot of battle scenes are acted out to hip-hop music, but in the second half, there are fewer battle scenes, and the ones remaining are acted out to an anonymous score. The portrayal of women in this movie is pretty bad. It was also bizarre to hear Asian actors speak with such strong American accents. The bloody scenes can get really gross. So, quite a few flaws.
