Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

charleenovember The level of realism for a female practising martial arts is very poor. Awful.The lead character is a featherweight at best. In real combat sports, even pro fighters have poor chance against someone 5-10kg heavier. In the movie she fights man clearly far heavier than her and their interaction is unrealistic at best.The teacher coaches in Chinese Martial arts - the routine practised by the students are modern Wushu style routines but they are dressed in Japanese 'Gi' and wearing coloured belts. There are no belt ranking in traditional Chinese Martial arts. There are samurai swords in the background and the training mat Japanese style. For a movie that centred around the theme of Martial Arts, it appears that the makers of the movie made little effort to research on their theme. It is rather appalling

disdressed12 i found this little independent gem to be well crafted.it's about a Turkish girl living in Copenhagen,who wants to do her own thing,but her family being very conservative Muslims have their owns plans for her.the title obviously gives much of the plot away.but there's more to the movie than that.there's the cultural divide,and the gender bias as well.the fighting scenes are very well choreographed and are very elegant,almost balletic.there are no fancy camera tricks here.i was also impressed with the lead actress Semra Turan.i also like the ending.it wasn't your typical ending.then again,this isn't your typical movie.i'd say it's well worth a watch.for me,Fighter is a 9/10

ridmx When I went to watch this movie my expectations were really low, but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought I was going to watch a boring teen-flick, BUT in fact the plot is interesting and well executed, the acting was somewhat convincing - especially from Melville who really shows his talent in this movie, and the fight scenes were - for a low budget movie - very well done .I think this movie deserves a broader audience than it has received. It is a movie, which can be seen by the whole family - maybe not the smallest of kids, since it contains some rather rough scenes. A movie about love, and the problems that can occur, when you go against your family traditions. Yes, the movie is very much like "Bend it like Beckham", but I actually think this movie pulls it off better.

imdb-22-rbarakX It's a rather good movie, but too Americanised in it's predictability. Change the Kung Fu for football and the Turkish Family for a Pakistani one, and you get to watch Bend It Like Beckham (2002) almost scene for scene. A nice feature the serves as the backbone of the movie is the progression of fights with the mysterious ninja under the highway, beginning with miserable losses and slowly progressing until the last fight is a win against oneself, as the Kung Fu master stressed several times. On a different level, the Danish life is revealed quite different than the image it has by outsiders: the non indigenous immigrants that make a large proportion (actually, the majority) of the Danish citizenry, the graffiti in the Copenhagen suburbs, the taunting of the immigrant girl in the begging of the movie. All portray a different picture than one has in mind when one hears the word Denmark.
