Come Out Fighting

This is by no means a big budget movie, but like the main actor is has heart. If you are looking for big effects go see a marvel movie, but if you want a heartwarming story, and some good fighting and some funny moments, check this out. I watched it on Apple Tv. Hope this helps.

No spoilers, but my favorite scenes are in the barn, and the casting was great on this. A few of the acting roles are a little suspect, but the main actor, Joe Ricci is able to carry this film. I hope to see him in future films, he's got the chops. The actor at the end is also pretty funny as Anthony, one of the other leads.. funny, good action, and heart - watch this.

WOW. I watch a lot of Indie Films, had the pleasure of seeing this film Saturday night. I haven't stopped thinking about it. Real cool fighting - realistic as well...A throw back feel good film, great characters and story. All the acting spot on, especially the 3 leads they were just really good. The plot was so believable and so real. It's hard to imagine how anyone with more acting experience could have done a better job! "Fast Buck Freddie" & "Gia" were amazing and so believable in this film & WOW....Joe Ricci as "Jazz", his look and his voice, how is this guy not in bigger films?? I can't believe Ricci isn't a star already in his own rite! It wasn't without some minor technical issues but overall I guess good films can be made on a modest budget after all.

I was able to watch this film recently.

Having produced my own independent films over the years, I realize the extra struggle it takes to put a project like this together. When you don't have a big studio backing your film project, you have to hustle to get it done, to find a way to complete your film. I think if that is taken into consideration just going into viewing this film, that will open up the overall perspective a bit.

With characters including a main villain you want to go down, a love interest that hits a common and realistic chord, and the supporting character of "Freddie" who is capable of anything, you are instantly drawn in to these characters and their world.

The heartbeat of this film is Jazz, played on point, and with a lot of heart by Joe Ricci. Joe, who also wrote and produced the film, turns in a truthful performance that makes you instantly like the character, you find yourself rooting for Jazz to succeed in trying to better his life.

This film was not made in Los Angeles, it does not have any movie stars in it, but it is very entertaining, and like the main character Jazz, it has a lot of heart. With all the garbage that big studio films are putting out there, this film is definitely worth your viewing time. You might just be surprised how well an independent film made outside of Los Angeles and outside of the studio system could turn out.

After coming across this I read the reviews and decided to give it ago on Tubi - I see some of the "critics" on here bashing? To answer some of you as to why some people rate this high, my take is first it says the budget was $65K? If that is the case it was pretty well done, the 2nd dialogue was catchy, Story was good, there were moments I laughed the Freddie character was every guy I grew up with, funny loser. The acting is 90% at least all of the leads were solid especially the lead guy Jazz, sort of like a poor man's Stallone. Fighting scenes could have been better, but something about the film it has heart, and the ending was not atypical "hero's ending by any means that you see so much in these types of films. I didn't see it coming. Has an 80's feel for sure, I thought the title song on the end credits sounded familiar and it seems that is John parr UK rock star famous for the hit song St Elmo's fire, That was pretty cool. Overall, I liked it and its worth a watch but if you're a critically acclaimed film snob expecting a studio film watch something else.

I want to start out by saying that Writer, Producer, Actor, Joe Ricci brought the work ethic of the great films I grew up on back in Come Out Fighting!!...Rocky 1 and Cool Hand Luke are two films I loved and I see some elements in story and flavor of those two classics coming through big for the Dapper and Tough, yet Gentle soul of the lead, JAZZ played by Ricci. He was outstanding and showed "A List" potential in his first starring role in a feature!

I never want to hear again from anyone that a film around $100K or less can't hit the spot in quality, acting, edit, score, sound and lighting, which in every case I was amazed at all Joe and his team did to prove that fresh faces and talented crew are born in other places besides Hollywood!

This cast of local Arizona actors stormed the gates of stardom and knocked it down! I laughed, I cried, I got upset, which is golden since I am really hard to please. I can't stand films of today where you leave disappointed. Praise God Joe weathered the storm and went against the grain of casting past their prime names who could not do any better than the people that made this happen for pennies on the dollar.

A 10 in my book! GO SEE THE FILM is all I can say. The Fights are very real and the Love Story is a great contrast. Props to Leading Lady Michelle Palermo who was loyal and loving, she stuck the part ala Talia Shire in Rocky..

Richard Ryan was a great antagonistic bad guy and Anthony Pavelich who was the biggest surprise for me showed many layers and added comedic relief to the film. Job well done and a film to be proud of!
