Leave your thoughts about A Fighting Man.
| Canada.comJay StoneLee has drawn nicely underplayed performances from everyone, and there's probably an affecting movie somewhere in all its stories. As it is, A Fighting Man is a boxing film with a particular problem: It can't fill its broad canvas. |
| Globe and MailJohn SemleyIrish guilt, redemption, opportunism, alcoholism ...writer/director Damian Lee puts all across with about as much nuance as a bruising left hook. |
| User ReviewPanta Oexcellent movie is the best movie for this year 2014 ,buena historia de boxeo mis respeto.. |
| User ReviewBruno VThey better called it " Flashbacks " , i could follow it easy , and the story was interesting , the ending deserves indeed no winner if you know both backgrounds ! |
| User ReviewF BThis was not an unfamiliar story, but it was presented in a refreshingly new way. The fighter's back stories were pieced together throughout the fight scenes and a tragic tale slowly unfolds before the last round begins. |
| User ReviewWilliam MMore story than the fight somewhat predictable but interesting. bloody and violent boxing so be warned. |
| User ReviewBorhan KThis movie is all about two fighters a new up and comer and an old timer that is fighting for the last time to make some money to take his sick mum to Ireland for the last time. A dramatic piece but a story better told I feel in book format. The movie is no million dollar baby type of flick but a B grade version. A straight story telling and I feel an easy paycheck for all involved. I love Dominic Purcell but in his movies and roles he does not have any diversity it is like he always plays the same character. A straight to DVD movie and nothing too special here. A one time watch. Not suitable for the kiddies as it has a lot of violence as we watch ten rounds of one fight that has cut scenes that build the characters that are fighting and the people that support them. |
| User ReviewDavid THORRIBLE!! Don't waste your time or money! Blasphemous and cheap. It's really just terrible all around. |
