gridoon2024 Review of Fighting with Anger

Fighting with Anger (2007)

Poorly plotted and directed, but blessed with an incredibly sexy leading lady

[5/10 · 8 December 2010]

It's usually not a good sign when the director of a film is also its co-writer, co-editor, co-producer, and co-fight choreographer! The phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" comes to mind. Sam Um has all of those duties in "Fighting With Anger", and the result is a cheap production, a poor story, and direction/editing that often manages to miss the fight choreography! The film would be totally disposable if it didn't introduce Kelli Fleming to the world: with her sweet baby-face and her fit curvy body she is totally hot; her acting is acceptable for a first-timer; and although most of her fighting moves are basic stuff, she saves the best for last by knocking out a guy with a figure-4 headscissors! I'd like to see her again in a higher-caliber vehicle. Oh yeah, Willie Nelson is in this too, he also gets to do some fighting (!) and shooting, and he sings a couple of songs over the closing credits. ** out of 4.
