For all that is Holy DO NOT SEE THIS STEAMING, SLOPPY PILE OF SHIT. I feel
dirty and not in that good way for having seen it. I wish I had the courage
to tear out my eyes with golden broaches it was that bad.
Every motherfucking cliche about MA was present in this turd in a punch bowl. Half assed koans, meaningless aphroisms, stupidity impersonating honor, poverty is purity etc. etc. And the whole position of “competition weakens the fighter” and then having the goddamn movie populated with competitive fighters?!?!? WTF? I mean WHAT THE FUCK!?
No witty Mamet-speak. Characters out of a third rate comic book. Fight scenes choreographed by slow children with dull tools. All the style of a dead fish. This is a still-born movie.
I feel like I’m doing the Monty Python Parrot Sketch at this point.
Avoid it at all costs. Kill if you have to. If you know Mamet or anyone in this movie, kick them square in the nuts. Twice.
