4.0 out of 5 stars A Bizarre Film That is Nevertheless Compelling Jan 24 2011
By A. Wheeler TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
This is an entertaining film. It is rather bizarre, in that we have a female boxer who fights men, much heavier men for that matter, in the underground boxing world. In some ways, the film is reminiscent of the Charles Bronson classic "Hard Times", in which he played a great street fighter during the depression era. The difference, of course, is that fight night is about a woman boxer during the present time. Yet, both have superhuman qualities as fighters, and the films never give us an explanation or history as to how these characters came to be the way they are.

Newcomer Rebecca Neuenswander, does a great job playing the female boxer with an edge. In real life, Neuenswander is a fascinating woman who has been a world champion is martial arts and is an active humanitarian helping to educate children in the third world. Her charisma and performance make this film a cut above your average independent action film, in that she is obviously playing a very machismo type of woman, yet she doesn't alienate the audience because somehow she manages to keep her feminine qualities. However, it also helps that Neuenswander is a beautiful woman, and it requires a bit of a leap for the audience to accept that she is able to maintain her core beauty in spite of the incredible beating she takes as a fighter.

Chad Ortis is adequate as the other lead in the film, but he is totally over shadowed by Rebecca Neuenswander. This is her movie, and she is ultimately the reason this film is worth watching. There seems to be some innate and compelling acting charisma and talent in Neuenswander, and one can only hope we see her again in the movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Independent Movie Dec 23 2009
By matnay - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I watch a lot of independent films. Typically you can tell that they are independent either by the low-grade filming, all outdoor shots, or worthless actors who can't make it in community theatre. It's no easy task, but if those things work for you, you still usually have to be forgiving with issues with story or continuity, but these things are not an issue with "Fight Night".

The start of the film is a bit messy... the cinematography doesn't settle down for a while and there's too much "effect" for effect sake. But soon the lead actors present a story well enough that you soon move pass the effects and start paying attention to the story. It's a shame that neither star has other credits to their name that I can find... they should definitely be holding our attention in more movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Purchase! Oct 22 2009
By Keith MacDonald - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I saw this fight flick on Showtime and had to add it to my library.
Chad Ortis "Mike Dublin" should become an A-Lister - he's a very good actor. He times throw-aways well and was a convincing sleazoid manager.
Rebecca Neunswander is captivating in her role as the fighter and she's also a very good actress. Ortis and Neunswander should do more films together - there was some great chemistry.
Despite all it's violence and blood gore, there's something about this movie that wins you over. Perhaps it's the great dialog between the characters? Kudos to writer Ian Schorr for excellent screenwriting.
(Disclaimer: I do not know any of these people. I was simply impressed that they created a fight flick that was actually interesting to watch, was well-written and acted -- and it stayed clear of the all-too typical fight movie cliches.)
Go "Speedy"! ;)

4.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshing Surprise!! May 12 2011
By Derwin White - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Slyly Starts Off As A Typical B-Action Movie, Morphing Into A Poignant Character Study Of Two Lost People Trying To Find Their Way. I Actually Enjoyed This MUCH More Than The Highly Celebrated Female-Fighter-With-A-Twist Movie, "Million Dollar Baby".

With All Due Respect To Hilary Swank's Buff-Looking Boxer, Former Martial Arts Champ Rebecca Neunswander is NOT Only The More Credible Fighter, Convincingly Taking Out Most Of Her Rivals With Skill And Quickness As Much As With Strategy; But Along With Chad Otis As The Opportunistic Promoter Michael Dublin, Gives A Top-Notch Performance As Drifter Katherine Parker, A Refreshing Rarity From The Mostly Wooden, Martial Artist-Turned-Action-Heroes That Are Usually Cast In These Films.

Even With The Different Direction That Editor/Producer/Director Johnathan Dillon Takes With This Film, It Has Enough, Excitingly Staged Fight Scenes Throughout To Please The Average Action Movie Fan; And It's An An Absolute SHAME That A Major Studio Didn't Pick Up This
Film And Give It The Push It TRULY Deserved.

To ANY Studio Exec Reading This Review, Take A Look At This Film, The Two Leads, And The Producer/Director At The Helm, And Get A Deal Going With ALL Three; A Goldmine Awaits!!!
