Shadow Fighter

An absolute howler. Don't bother wasting 90 minutes of your life on this drivel!!

I started watching this movie with excitement. It was rated 7.7 (which I consider quite high). With a rating like that surely it is very good. Such a rating really raises the important question of legitimacy. These people that rate the movie a 9 or 10 must be somehow tied to the production, or they were simply paid. It is disgraceful. The acting is absolutely woeful and the director needs to go back to film school because I am not sure how anybody could have let slide what was seen on the dailies. This is a C grade movie. At its absolute best. If I was involved in this production I would be too embarrassed to put my name to it because if people are turning off your movie 10 or 20 minutes in... Surely something is majorly wrong with it.

Loved the movie. Really entertaining and passionate acting. Story of an unlikely friendship. Recommend this for all to watch. I only wish the story had a bit more, I felt like it gave way in the middle but still giving it a 7, hopefully they will make a part two.

This ethnically inclusive movie has a nice blend of Drama with some action. The relationship that develops between the inner-city teen that's a victim of circumstance and the homeless ex-boxer on the lamb, is something that gives the film a pinch of humanity that carries the viewer through to the end. Single mom's trying to raise kids, drug dealers influencing kids, bad cops, good cops, Burt Reynold's not playing feeble but a boxing trainer with plenty of fire and some very authentic cinematography makes "Shadow Fighter" a solid choice.

I thought the trailer was done well so I gave it a shot and it turned great. The actors are really talented and poured their hearts out in this film. Also a decent storyline with some nice cinematography kept me glued to the screen till the very end. Had that rocky feel to it.
