Female Fight Squad

Female Fight Club is about Rebecca, a former illegal pit fighter who gets pulled back in when her sister owes a ridiculous amount of money. Female Fight Club, later retitled as female fight squad, is a feminist action movie filmed in 2015, but not released until 2017 that concentrates on the injustices women face in a male dominated environment that theatrically debuted in the United Arab Emirates. That's not fair though. It actually debut on TV and DV, in other very sexually progressive countries. Female fight club in actuality plays out like a millennial closet misogynist's wet dream. It lampshades the sexual sadism involved in the spectacle of a female blood sport, but then it makes that common mistake of becoming what it beheld and un-ironically indulging in the same exact spectacle, culminating in a sex scene intercut with a fight scene as if this film even had the credibility to pull that off. This film makes Showgirls look like something that was released last year by peccadillo pictures. But why care about a modern day genre film that is less politically aware than it proclaims to be? It's nothing new. Aesthetics no longer define politics. Aesthetics are nothing but politics now. There is no distinction. But, where the hell was i? Ah, yes, why should i care about a direct to dvd action film being hypocritical in it's message? Well because when the most entertaining fight scenes in your women's only MMA film star a fifty eight year old Dolph Lundrgen, then i gotta start asking questions somewhere. Female Fight Club has the exact same problem that a film like Raze did. It tries to tell a story which features complex emotions and plot twists and all that crap, and does not have the caliber of screenplay or cast to pull it off. These women were cast for their athletic backgrounds, not thespian. It would be awesome if they had both, but few people have. The worst scenes are the scenes with people talking because they are flatly acted and photographed. They obviously had little investment put into them and therefore any message this film had, feels forced and patronising, undeserved. Apart from a decent third act, Female Fight Club is an utterly mediocre fight film that displays less personality than a Bloodsport sequel.

After having seen the movie Lady Bloodfight with Amy Johnston i imediately hunt down her second feature film as the lead wich is Female Fight Squad(or Club depending on where you live). Just as Lady Bloodfight i had to import this one. Unfornunately i didn't had fun like i did Lady Bloodfight. Amy does a fine job in the movie but the script is a bit "meh" and the main problem is for a movie call "Fight Club/Squad", there ain't that much fighting in it, and the few of them are not much impressive or brutal. I wouldn't say its "bad" but it let a lot to be desire. I am a huge fan of Amy ever since i discovered her early this year, but this movie is "average" at best. Not her fault at all.

Well, "Female Fight Club" definitely had lots of potential to have been a great martial arts movie. But somehow all that potential was just carelessly squandered at the hands of director Miguel A. Ferrer. While this 2017 movie was no contender to the 1999 "Fight Club" movie, it was on the right track, but then it got horribly sidetracked by writers Anastazja Davis and Miguel A. Ferrer setting out to want way too much with their storyline, and managing to deliver only half of such. The storyline in "Female Fight Club" is about as generic as it comes for a movie of this type. So you know exactly what you are getting here when you sit down to watch it. As for the acting, well I initially sat down to watch "Female Fight Club" because I saw Dolph Lundgren was in it. Little did I know that his role was so small that it hardly could be called a supportive role. For a martial arts movie, then there were surprisingly little fighting going on actually. Sure, there were fight scenes, but I had expected heaps more, instead of all the family drama taking place on the screen. And to make matters worse, then the fight scenes weren't all that phenomenal. All in all, "Female Fight Club" was a less than mediocre martial arts action movie. It had potential, but that potential never came into fruition at the hands of the director. As such, I am rating "Female Fight Club" a mere four out of ten stars, as it was mildly enjoyable and watchable, yes. But hardly an outstanding or memorable movie here.

Very poor acting with unbelievable fight sequences. A low budget action flick that just misses the mark.
