Preview: Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen (2011)

Synopsis:

Seeking revenge on those who tried to kill him after he discovered who was responsible for his teacher's death, a caped, masked crimefighter arrives in Japan to make sure those in power do not succeed in assassinating further individuals.

• Poster: B-

Review:

The poster displays a slice of style with the stereotypical martial arts pose of its star in an effort to make the film feel almost otherworldly. The problem is that this isn't a Japanese Blade Runner and the design won't convince the right interested parties to watch.

• Trailer: B

Review:

While I'm not a fan of the martial arts genre, the stylish elements of this production make it almost seem worthwhile.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
