Girlfight

I've always loved this film and the way it represents woman. Usually, it's the woman that gives up herself and her dreams for the man that is currently in her life. But Diana, the character that Michelle Rodriguez plays, is such an empowering female. She decides that she wants better for her self and to finally stand up to abusive father. Diana does't break down when her love interest, Adrian Sturges played by Santiago Douglas, goes out with a "prettier" girl after showing his interest to Diana, instead she channels her rage and hurt and improves herself in a sport that is mainly dominated and controlled by men. She rises so much so, that she started to get attention from the boxing world. Something that her love interest wasn't expecting, and realizes that he grouped Diana like those "other girls" when clearly she is not. I do recommend this movie, especially to you females who need a positive female character.

It was odd.I was looking for a boxing movie and I got it so that is...nice? I guess...The boyfriend goes bounces between 'nice' and 'whiny' throughout the entire movie.While I know that women don't show muscle as distinctively as men do, it still takes a lot of time to develop the amount of muscle needed to take down a man twice her size and it showed some training but mostly, it focused on her learning the footwork and combinations (when they weren't focusing on Adrian).In the climax, I think Adrian let her win the match. I think it was something along the lines of 'Am I so determined to go pro that I'm willing to beat up my girlfriend?' and when he said that he 'gave it all he had', he gave it all he had emotionally - not physically.Boys are different from girls. Guys can bulk up; women can't. I'm not saying that women can't be as strong as a man but she will never be bulky. Unless a woman is specifically training herself otherwise, a man will win on the power scale every time.I think it was a good movie. I'm not going to rent it again but it was somewhere between 'okayish' and 'good'.---I much prefer the Rocky series or Million Dollar Baby. Million Dollar Baby had a sad ending but it was a damn good movie---

I saw Michelle Rodriguez before in Blue Crush but did not pay much attention to her as she had a supporting role and did not stand out in that particular movie.Girlfight is quite different and is right up there as one of my favorite movies. Great storytelling by Director Karyn Kusama and the cast is superb. Kusama commented that the uncut version is 3 hours long. The movie draws you in and you care about the development of the characters. I would like to have seen the 3 hour version. How about a sequel?You can always find faults with a movie if you wanted to but this is a very satisfying peformance and you find yourself rooting for the two lovers.There appears to be only a full screen version the DVD. I wish a HIGH DEFINITION wide screen Blue Ray version of the disc is available.

Too beautiful and raw...The director did an amazing job. I wish there were more stories like this one out there. Very moving.

This is a really good film with a great actress playing the lead. A fairly simple story beautifully told. Very naturalistic acting and directing. All the dialog rings like real people talking. Several layers of complexity. Her best friend has very different politics than her, and she has to fight another friend in the ring to progress. Plus... boxing! Plus...Girlpower!

My boyfriend had never seen Girlfight, but had a crush on Michelle Rodriguez. I didn't even understand how this was possible, and judged him harshly for his admission. We immediately rectified his indiscretion because Fast and Furious is Sad and Curious and not worth a crush. In short: he thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I mightily relished justice.

The movie GirlFight was awesome, the delivery was quicker than I thought that it would be especially for international shipping, it was a great film to watch also, a great storyline, and everything else that came with it, I am very satisfied with the purchase of the movie GirlFight, it was well worth the money that I paid for it., and so much more.

I have the movie and love it!!! Always loved Michelle Rodriguez!!! She is a kick ass actress love her in this. I have tons of her movies and she is prob one of the better tough girls in high packed action movies!!!

I buy DVDs almost entirely as a result of watching films on TV, so that I can see the film again whenever I want. This is one such DVD. It deals largely with the training necessary to become a good boxer and some of the fights. There is no sex, just sweat and effort. Terrific film.

Purchased as a gift for my girlfriend as she is a HUGE fan of Michelle Rodrigues. According to my girlfriend the film was well worth the purchase and she has watched it twice in a 2 week period!

Ok

The DVD I got is either in French, or in English with French subtitles. Can't get English without the subtitles which is really annoying.

Good condition
