Shadow Fighter

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.

Omar's a talented actor, I know he's going to make it big!!! Nice to see Burt Reynolds in this also. Enjoyed it

This movie is a well done indie Drama with family values. I watched it with my 14 year old and 18 year old who loved it! I would rather watch a high budget action movie. I will say the homeless guy (Steve Daron) has some nice boxing skills But the fight scenes showed it was a low budget movie. Excellent emotional acting in certain scenes was moving but still not my blood and gore fix.

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.
