terrible... so disappointed.
... View MoreGood story, Not enough for a whole film
... View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreIt'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.
... View MoreThis is an obvious effort by Willie to sponsor a pretty woman who has some martial arts experience for an acting career. It is clearly just a vehicle for her to show her fighting (not acting) skills.However, the vehicle was delivered without even the most basic equipment. The plot is almost nonexistent. The girl is supposed to kill people for money She ends up killing a few and beating up hordes of bad boys without even breaking a nail, then she cries for no apparent reason.I am a stickler for realism in action movies. This one disappoints in that regard. Although Kelli is agile, you can see that she is not strong. The stunt men do all the work.The gun fights are ludicrous. Hundreds of rounds are wasted, hitting nothing. We are subjected to the "let's take turns shooting at each other" syndrome, where no one gets hit. Then the little girl singlehandedly takes out a dozen henchmen and never gets touched. As an example, in the warehouse scene, she takes the boss henchman as a hostage, then she TURNS HER BACK on two gunmen who nevertheless DON'T SHOOT her exposed back. Absolutely ridiculous! It must be hard to get good henchmen these days.The performances are simply horrendous, as you would see in a bad middle school play. The evil men are laughable and hopelessly incompetent and Willie is simply Willie without a guitar.In short, this is another "cute girl/martial arts queen takes out all the bad guys" movie with no acting, plot, or character development. I don't recommend this unless you are a die-hard fan of Willie Nelson or some other member of the cast or crew.
... View MoreI really enjoyed the fight sequences! Kelli Fleming's techniques were very good. The warehouse fight was pretty cool too! I liked the musical arrangement, and of course Willie and daughter Paula Nelson's songs were great!I believe Director Sam Um did an excellent job on a micro budget! Jon Boatwright was a very believable villain in the movie. His calm, cool, and calculating ways made him the perfect "bad guy".Additionally, Willie Nelson won Best Actor, Best Original Song, and Fighting with Anger won Best Action Film at the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival in Los Angeles 2007.
... View MoreThis movie was so terrible I could only make it through half an hour of this crap. Nobody in this movie can act and none of the behind the scenes crew know how to make a movie. It looks like it was made for $20, if that. The script was so bad a three year old could write a better script with a better vocabulary. Willie Nelson should do what he does best and that is sing in hippie festivals about peace and tranquility. This movie is full of first time actors who will probably never get another movie role in their lives. The fighting is so generic and weird. The main chick decides to fight a group of people at a club and then right after that she breaks down in a corner and starts to cry for no reason what so ever. This movie is terrible and I wouldn't waste your time or money on this garbage.
