Despite a solid and gleefully wacky premise and a talented cast, Fistful of Vengeance is a disappointingly weak film that's rushed, chaotic and full of clunky exposition, bad one liners and poor visual effects.
The fight scenes are mostly well filmed but that only highlights how weirdly weightless and low energy they are. The soundtrack is extremely distracting with its near constant and random selection of songs from beginning to end.
However, there are a few positives. It's satisfyingly gory and there are brief moments of impressive camera work. Lewis Tan gives the strongest performance with more than enough charm and charisma whilst also being physically capable.
