"Fight Night": Do I Even Need to See That Michelle Rodriguez Flick

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756707/
Since "Girlfight" was directed by Karyn Kusama of  "Jennifer Body" fame (not quite cult status, but it is getting there), perhaps.

I may queue up "Aeon Flux" first to see what kind of quality range she has. Also, "Flux" has a commentary track by star Charlize Theron, and I need the chance to hear how she polishes that turd. It will be back in the Best Buy $3.99 bin at some point.

Ever since "Bloodsport", I have been a fan of the concept of pit/prizefighting pictures. The problem, with the exception of "Diggstown", "Mortal Kombat" and "Rocky V" (You do not like it because it is not as tacky as III and IV), there have been very few good ones since.

I am a/the fan of a few. "Heatseeker" is a script I would like to remake. "Lionheart" led to a few tears before my meds, but I cannot say either of these were good. With this lack of good features, I have been skeptical about buying into the recent (2009) batch like: "Never Back Down", "Red Belt", "Fighting" and why does Michael Jai White still land starring roles (This review was written before I saw "Black Dynamite", so my apologies). My lack of enthusiasm centers around these being inspired by the least scientific sport around, Mixed Martial Arts.

Fortunately for the genre, I am a feminist and a fan of gimmicks, and I have the patience to give B-Movies a chance (Could you please reciprocate this by enquiring about my treatment for "Main Event of the Dead" a zom-com centered around pro wrestling? Drop me an email at russthebus07@gmail.com.). Taking all of these qualities in to account, the female version of these films, "Fight Night" (aka "Rigged") will fill this void until Rose McGowan fucks up "Red Sonja".
