'The Man With The Iron Fists' a pleasurable mess

Shot on location in China, ‘The Man With The Iron Fists’ is an intentionally overblown martial arts romp, which harks back to the classics of the genre.

It’s a clumsy and often garish homage that doesn’t allow a sloppy script, wayward performances or an incongruous soundtrack of R&B and hip-hop to distract from the bone-crunching thrills and spills.
