female fighting movie,
as an avid female fight fan i was very excited when this movie came out the storyline is very good and the fight scenes are quite brutal , no messing about here, although the fight scenes could have been longer but all in all a very good movie and a rare treat for female fight fans.

Another girl fight film,
Mostly due to the Academy award that Clint Eastwood got for his depressing girl as boxer film, there were a spate of copycat low budget girl fighter films. Two of them, the Opponent and Fight Night, I highly recommend; both are on Amazon, the stars are enormously appealing and we have emotional connections with them; I really cared for them and their final outcomes.
This film is a morass of scenes, actors, etc. It tries to present the topsy turvy boxing world as a corrupt freak show; that may be, but who cares…I wanted to see good looking women fighting, OR, as with the above films, good looking women I cared for find happiness. This film has a endless spate of women fighting, to be sure, but we get no connection to any of them, not even the lead actress. The casting of the leas actress was very poor; she is gorgeous, but in a way that would never work in boxing. Her nose is unbelievably perfect; it would last 10 min.s in boxing. Her deltoids(the muscle at the end of the shoulder) define athletic power; no way round that folks. This actress is gorgeous, with delicate features..Great, but a boxer like that would hit like grandma. Sorry, but no sale…Buy those others films(Opponent; Fight Night), root for the emotionally compelling actresses, and hope they find happiness somehow…

Hard to Find Believable,
In similar fashion to other fem fight films, this one fails miserably!
The acting leaves much to be desired as emotional subjects are discussed and delivered in a almost “matter of fact” way.
This movie is so short on acting talent, the writers resort to a tried and true concept; making this movie little more than a T&A contest. The resurrection of washed up ex-wrestlers/fighters (Bridgett Riley & Spice Williams) is almost comedic.
The choreographed fight scenes are poorly edited both visually and audio. The editing is so bad in fact that the final fight scene takes place at night under poor lighting, obviously to hide the inability of the fight choreographer to make the fights seem even reasonably realistic. No blood after taking a beating in a bare knuckles fight?…Give me a break!
I’m not sure what the total budget was for this flick, but given a few hundred thousand dollars I’m sure a high school student could do better.
