    Default Fighting (2009)



    Well this has it all. No really!

    You have so many facets to this film, lets visit a few of them.


    Firstly you have the testosterone of guys into underground street fighting - Ok, Check.

    You have our hero who is down and out on his luck - Really tell me more

    You have all the Criminal world connections (from every ethic background) and big money at stake - Check, you would not like to offend anybody from that background by not representing them, I get it

    You have a sexy single mum that's struggling - Now its getting interesting

    You have a sexy single mum that becomes a love interest - Even better

    You have an old rival from your past come back into your life - Hey the world is a small place after all

    You have jealousy and trust issues with two people that are close to you - Yeap got it

    You have a troubled past - Naturally

    You work through all that - Lifes tough but your tougher

    You have a few minor twists and turns along the way - Why of course

    You risk it all to to start your real life - Righto

    Against said old rival - No surely you jest

    Happy Ending - Off course it is your the hero

    In all seriousness this IS an absolute stinker, the only thing missing was a car chase and explosions, hated it full stop.

    Only redeemable quality was some of the camera angles, and some of the scenery shots from the crew

    Sure it will make millions another "get bums on seats type of movie" that follows the formula for a successful money making film

    Be warned it will steal 1h:47m of your life and still leave you feeling like you should have hired "fight club"

    wont even mention the dodgy acting, the homeboy mentality of the underground seen (was kind of like a fast and furious feel), and only four fights in the whole movie, 3 from memory did not even have blood in them,and the final fight has an obscure intro from one of the mafia type's which was delivered so appallingly that 5 seconds into it, you will literally cringe and whisper under your breathe "don't do it" please "don't do it".

    Each to his or her own I guess.

    If you feed ducks at a pond, chances are your bound to feed a goose or two without even knowing it.

    Hmmm, won't rush out to see that one then. Not that I was going to, I didn't think that much of A Guide To Recognising Your Saints.
