5.0 out of 5 stars Guts, Blood, and a lot of heart, November 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fight (DVD)

Hold on to your seats boys and gals. The punches in this one will be flying into your living room making you truly feel like you are there. Its an unusual love picture that reaches hights I had not witnessed before. It is not a simple film by any streach of imagination. It is poetic, complex, and heart wrenching. I give it an A plus for the gutsy way it delivers.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE FIGHT is SHADOW GLORIES! It's a great film!, November 22, 2002

This review is from: The Fight (DVD)

I saw this movie when it was in limited release in Maine, USA under the title SHADOW GLORIES. As a 3rd degree black belt and a lifelong martial artist I've got to say it's one of the truest, most soulfilled representations of the art and kickboxing I've seen in years. I've been waiting for over a year to see it again. Having kept tabs on the film via it's website (ShadowGlories.com) I understand it's won awards in Los Angeles, where it also earned a great review by the LA Times, deservedly so. The fight scenes are on par with those in "Raging Bull," putting you right in the ring for every bone crushing blow. But it's the story, written by the star, Marc Sandler, and Ziad Hamzeh's brilliant direction that make this movie a standout. And wait till you get a load of Killer Kuzinski! Gritty and unrelenting, I'm making it a must for all of my students. A MUST SEE!

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible movie, the 'new' title is deceiving., January 6, 2003

By 

A once loyal reader (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Fight (DVD)

I saw this movie in a theater in Hooksett NH and immediately raved to my friends about it. I kept looking for it for a year, eventually receiving information from Marc Sandler the writer/producer/star (after telling him what a great job he did with it) about it's coming release and I picked it up as soon as it became available. This IS Shadow Glories, critically acclaimed (info at [web address]) and the new advertising and jacket are deceiving because it's SO much more than a movie about 'the fight' CJ faces. It's a great character driven story, very dynamic, soulful (to steal fellow reviewer's words), and Marc/Penn's struggle to overcome his own darkness captivated me more than any other aspect of the movie. Incredibly well written, directed, acted. Once you see this film you'll understand my comments, this is far more than your average kick the snot out of 'em movie. I rave about very few movies, this is worth your time regardless of whether you're looking for action or for a powerful character driven story. One of my favorite movies of all time, as well as director and producer (credit also must be given to Hamzeh for powerful direction as well).
