Come Out Fighting

Saw this film at a showing while in Az. at Harkins theater last Sunday night. I was pleasantly surprised at the emotions the film took me through. Great writing by Mr. Joe Ricci who also starred in the film, as he should have. His persona and demeanor brought the character Jazz to life... someone who was down on his luck, just needing a break. Who hasn't been in that position ever? A film most people can relate to very well, with a splash of humor thrown in, mix well and serve! Come Out Fighting, a very palatable and pleasurable film. Congratulations to the cast and crew, production et., all. Well done. Will be looking forward to whatever Mr. Ricci comes up with next.

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 watched this film on tubi and although it seems a small budget indie film once it got going I was surprised how good it was - lots heart clever dialogue - acting was solid -lead actors very "rocky" like--nice twist at the end with the grand prize lol clever-wounderful little low budget indie.

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.
