"The Man With the Iron Fists" being a fairly satisfying slab of cinematic mayhem, particularly if seen in under conditions like the ones I describe from my younger days.

Devoid of energy and direction, 'J&D' settles for faux-naif posturing and arty color design.

Tonally, the film swings between whispery romance and ominous horror as it explores the dark side of love and lust ...

Sara Stewart, New York Post

Throughout, the filmmaking is tentative, as though Gray is unsure whether he wants to make a fantasy-tinged romance or a hyper-sexualized blood-fest. (He winds up with neither.)

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

"Jack & Diane" offers a glaring example of a writer and director, Bradley Rust Gray, unable to trust in the simple strength of his material.
