FISTS OF ABSINTHE is a short Youtube movie and a throwback to the Japanese samurai genre of film-making. The story is about a black American guy who drinks a shot of absinthe in a bar and ends up fighting for his life in Edo-era Japan, somewhat randomly. This reminded me a little of the excellent KUNG FURY but sadly it's nowhere near as amusing, just a little tired and over obvious. It's about average for the genre, with some overacting here and there and some brief fight scenes which are okay, aside from the disappearing CGI blood.
