An Indie film that explores emotional struggles and human relationships as well as been insightful in the world of Jiu- Jitsu. The martial arts were done expertly and weaved very well into the tone of the story.
This movie is ultra-relatable. We all have traumas from our past that we are recovering from, that have shaped us. Watching the two leads combat their demons through love reminds us how healing human connection can be, especially for those who tend to retreat into themselves. This was beautifully written and acted. Highly recommend!
I really love dramas with an inspirational message about overcoming hardships. This film showcases that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be a path forward onward - a method to overcome trauma. I learned quite a bit about Jiu-Jitsu too and am inspired to explore this more. I've seen other drama films where the characters use art as a method of overcoming. Love can help heal as well is a fantastic message in this film. My congratulations to these filmmakers for creating this moving film that so many people will relate to.
Lion Killer tells the story of 2 lost souls trying to find their place in the world after a lifetime of tragedies. The movie has some great cinematography and a good soundtrack. It's a bit reminiscent of Good Will Hunting and Karate Kid. Lion Killer leaves a powerful message with a lot of heart.
Lion Killer is a unique indie film that combines Jiu-Jitsu, drama, and a love story in a way that I haven't seen on screen. I have to admit that I was immediately intrigued by the film's title and the slick poster, so I wanted to check it out and I wasn't disappointed.
The lead characters in Lion Killer, Michael and Noelle, have struggled through some difficult times and have to find a way to heal in order to give their budding relationship a real shot, which makes for a compelling narrative. I've also dabbled a bit in Jiu-Jitsu, so that was of particular interest to me, and it seems apparent that members of the cast are real martial artists, which gave the film a lot of legitimacy in that department that sometimes even big Hollywood films lack. If you're intrigued by this unique combo of martial arts, drama, and love like I was, then check out Lion Killer.
