Too much of everything

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This film takes place in the alternate universe of Camden, New Jersey where the guys are all buddies and get along and women constantly have beefs and fight each other...because they steal a purse? (Seriously that is what the first fight was about.) People pay to see women fight and there is a group called "the knock around girls" who all do fights for small money, but all want two thousand dollars so they can leave town and rent an apartment instead of living rent free in Gino's basement.The real money isn't made in these illegal street fights, but the other one no one knows about in "Fight Valley" whose first rule is don't talk about Fight Valley. Tori (Chelsea Durkalec) finds out about Fight Valley (something she didn't know about after fighting for how long?) and ends up dead. Her soft twinkie sister (Susie Celek) wants to know who did this and gets in shape for a fight in about half a music montage.The plot had a lot of holes in it. I am not sure where there is a "valley" in Camden or how the women had more testosterone than men. I guess if you like watching women pummel each other with a "Lifetime" drama, this is it.Guide: F-word. F/F sex. Nudity.

I agree that this is a poorly made film in almost all its aspects. Frankly, I don't care. I'm tired of everyone reviewing every film as if it were 'Chariots of Fire'. I couldn't stand that 4-star, Oscar winning piece of over-hyped dribble. 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes', 'Showgirls' or 'Devil Dog, Hound from Hell' received an overrated 1- star. Cheap and shallow has its place and mindless entertainment is exactly what you want at times. Effort was put into this project and you can't take that away.

A bad episode from a mid day soup would be better. Entirely predictable from the characters to the dialogue and the story line. You've got the smoking hard ass types who swear like drunken sailors. You've got the tough guys from the hood, the disadvantaged, the pampered rich and powerful in different forms. The whole premise is just an excuse to flash some flesh. There are lots of tough guys movies with kick boxers and martial arts guys slaying the bad guys. This is just the female version of a predictable story line. J.C.V. Dame's been there done that so many years ago. It was Charles Bronson before that and the Clint in his silly movies. But the whole thing is so badly acted and badly filmed. This is the worst film I've seen this year. Seriously get a taser, says the movie. At least if it had some real time with butch actress/stunt girls like Zoe Bell who really knows how to kick ass.

I think Miesha Tate did a fantastic job with her first acting gig. She was natural and played her role just as though she was training with any one of her MMA peers. I think the other reviews left before mine are a little harsh considering this was a low budget movie you get what you pay for so chill folks. Holly Holm was also good for her first go on screen I wish she was in the movie a little more though. The buzz was all about "CupCake" + "The Preacher's Daughter" just saying maybe Rob Hawk shouldn't have edited down the scenes this much I know there was more to see.. And who on Earth would give speaking parts to "Cyborg" LOL come on now that's not her fault either her job was to look muscular and scary not scare us away with her English - I'm not throwing a dig at her I love her just as much as the other Fighters. I really liked the character JAIME one of the actresses (non fighters) Cabrina Collesides she was fantastic very comfortable on camera and funny as hell with her ghetto slang and lesbian humor. Just like Holly I wish we would have heard and seen more from Cabrina. There were a few casting question marks I had like who would believe the girl who played "Windsor" is only 30 the chick who played her Mom in the film looked younger - slight error there again not digging this actress just the person who cast her in this role in my opinion one of the younger girls should have played "Windsor" like for example "JAIME" / Cabrina. I give this film a 7 out of 10 because I wanted to see more fight scenes the music was fantastic and had me pumped up to see some punches thrown I think too much was put on the story line and not enough action. The hype for this film was the WMMA Fighters should have been more with that. The Serrano Sisters should have had bigger roles too. This film had all the right ingredients all of the right players just incorrect roles and not enough Kick Ass... I hope nobody gets offended by my review... I know most of the cast is actually from New Jersey so chill guys you did the best you could with your situation. Oh and out of the dudes in this film I liked "Stakes" Jefferson Sanders who is a trainer in real life maybe should have pursued a little something there in this film as well. Like I said before all the ingredients for an amazing feature were there they just weren't utilized to their best potential... 7/10 for an honest review. My 4 year old daughter gave it a 10/10 because Miesha Tate + Cabrina Collesides are her Idols put them together in a movie and this girl was in Heaven. You had some serious fighters on board for this how do you not even give the boxing sisters a chance to I don't know BOX - LOL
