| Girlfight (US
2000) |
 |
For 18-year old Diana, there was
no place where she can be herself. But it was until she knew
about boxing. A girl who started fighting will never be lost. |
| Diana who lives in Brooklyn experiences
and learns various things via boxing training. It's a little
bit different from other prime movie. The fighting scene of
the climax is fresh and interesting with female director's unique
eye. The scene of boxing with dynamic camera work is also lively
for female director. A brand-new type of heroin and the way
she lives will knock you out. |
