Fists of Righteous Harmony

Question: What do you get when you want to make an action film with no movie stars? You get a jumble titled "The Fists of Righteous Harmony" (seriously, why such a long, difficult name?), which will please its core audience but won't really amuse people not into martial arts, action or guns. There are lots of us out there that adore martial arts movies with plenty of well choreographed mayhem and "The Fists" seem to be a good choice for indie pleasures but the script and some of the acting kept me wondering at times.

The flashbacks are probably my favorite parts, and the grittiness of the scene at the motel.

The performers meet the demands of their roles, which are not exactly difficult. Throughout the movie, nothing unfolds predictably - but then again, I wasn't sure what to expect -. The fight scenes are fun, but the confusion factor and the apparent lack of experience are deadlier than any of the Fists lethal blows... that and the fact that the psychic should've fought in the end.

Warning: There are lots of bad words in this film, so parents beware; but few people go to martial arts movies to enjoy the beautiful language, and as an action lavishness, the film delivers. Cinematography is great at times with beautiful colors and nice contrasts... and at times it fails to deliver...

Will you enjoy it? Yes, if you watch it with an open mind.
