Fight Night

3.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)
Michael is a small time con artist who drifts from one town to another, trying to run his next scan while escaping the fallout from the last. Michael's specialty is setting up illegal underground boxing matches where a pair of bare-knuckled fighters square off and Michael runs off with most ... of the gate money. While on the road, Michael meets Katherine, and when he sees her fight he's convinced his ship has come in. Katherine is a beautiful woman who also had remarkable talent in the ring and can knock out a man nearly twice her size; with Katherine, Michael is convinced he'll never have to fix a fight again, because no one would believe that she could win a fair fight until they've actually seen her in action. Michael persuades Katherine to take him on as her manager, but while victory is sweet for a while, it doesn't take long for his old enemies to catch up with him, and soon Michael and Katherine have to deal with Clark, an underground fight promoter who has a score to settle with Michael.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Independent Movie, December 23, 2009
This review is from: Fight Night (DVD)
I watch a lot of independent films. Typically you can tell that they are independent either by the low-grade filming, all outdoor shots, or worthless actors who can't make it in community theatre. It's no easy task, but if those things work for you, you still usually have to be forgiving with issues with story or continuity, but these things are not an issue with "Fight Night".

The start of the film is a bit messy... the cinematography doesn't settle down for a while and there's too much "effect" for effect sake. But soon the lead actors present a story well enough that you soon move pass the effects and start paying attention to the story. It's a shame that neither star has other credits to their name that I can find... they should definitely be holding our attention in more movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Purchase!, October 22, 2009
By 
This review is from: Fight Night (DVD)
I saw this fight flick on Showtime and had to add it to my library.
Chad Ortis "Mike Dublin" should become an A-Lister - he's a very good actor. He times throw-aways well and was a convincing sleazoid manager.
Rebecca Neunswander is captivating in her role as the fighter and she's also a very good actress. Ortis and Neunswander should do more films together - there was some great chemistry.
Despite all it's violence and blood gore, there's something about this movie that wins you over. Perhaps it's the great dialog between the characters? Kudos to writer Ian Schorr for excellent screenwriting.
(Disclaimer: I do not know any of these people. I was simply impressed that they created a fight flick that was actually interesting to watch, was well-written and acted -- and it stayed clear of the all-too typical fight movie cliches.)
Go "Speedy"! ;)

4.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshing Surprise!!, May 12, 2011
By 
Derwin White "DKW Music" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fight Night (DVD)
Slyly Starts Off As A Typical B-Action Movie, Morphing Into A Poignant Character Study Of Two Lost People Trying To Find Their Way. I Actually Enjoyed This MUCH More Than The Highly Celebrated Female-Fighter-With-A-Twist Movie, "Million Dollar Baby".

With All Due Respect To Hilary Swank's Buff-Looking Boxer, Former Martial Arts Champ Rebecca Neunswander is NOT Only The More Credible Fighter, Convincingly Taking Out Most Of Her Rivals With Skill And Quickness As Much As With Strategy; But Along With Chad Otis As The Opportunistic Promoter Michael Dublin, Gives A Top-Notch Performance As Drifter Katherine Parker, A Refreshing Rarity From The Mostly Wooden, Martial Artist-Turned-Action-Heroes That Are Usually Cast In These Films.

Even With The Different Direction That Editor/Producer/Director Johnathan Dillon Takes With This Film, It Has Enough, Excitingly Staged Fight Scenes Throughout To Please The Average Action Movie Fan; And It's An An Absolute SHAME That A Major Studio Didn't Pick Up This
Film And Give It The Push It TRULY Deserved.

To ANY Studio Exec Reading This Review, Take A Look At This Film, The Two Leads, And The Producer/Director At The Helm, And Get A Deal Going With ALL Three; A Goldmine Awaits!!!
