3. The Man with the Iron Fists
RZA's directorial debut is a flawed but effective kung fu spectacle that keeps the blood flowing and the feet flying. While he's still got a long way to go behind the camera, and the script is borderline terrible, he gets a ton of help action vets Lucy Liu, Byron Mann, Cung Le, and Russell Crowe as an opium addicted antihero.

A clever mix of sci-fi sensibilities and romantic comedy quirkiness, Safety Not Guaranteed features a career best performance by Aubrey Plaza and sets indie stalwart Mark Duplass as a leading man to watch.
