A Father's Fight

If a movie catches my attention in the first 5 maybe 10 mins then its worth the shot.The music, the setting, the story line all were wonderful and meaningful.The acting wasn't too bad considering other faith movies I've seen .Some actors sounded a little too scripted but with alittle more acting classes these actors will be a hit.The story line relates to all of us one way or another we win some we lose some but we always need to remember God always has our back even when we don't think, He's always there in the silence waiting for our beckon call.I would recommend this movie especially if you can relate to the subject.

Fight is an excellent story, it has a very thoughtful plot. When I found out that the film was shot entirely by a volunteer cast and crew within a church family, that explained what struck me as inexperience by many of the actors. Even with a volunteer church group producing the film, the cinematography was well designed and the score brought a fullness to the screenplay. This was a well shot film that belies the budget. This film shared an inspiring story that many can relate to and be encouraged by. I'd recommend it because of that.

From the broken heart of what could have been, to the hopelessness of being trapped in the bottle with no apparent way out, Travis Hancock brings his character to life in an overwhelmingly realistic way while demonstrating how he is tearing his family apart. Sarah Cleveland perfectly portrays the anguish of a wife torn between her love for her husband and the need to protect her children from the dangers of an alcoholic Father in the house. With a simple look or the subtle motion of touching her ring finger, she effortlessly lets her emotions flow without a word. Within the first two minutes you can tell from the cinematography and the music track, this movie will be a good one! Although this film was put together by a church it does not cram "God" down your throat. Instead, the Director chooses to make a film that ALL can relate too. With a $30,000 budget and volunteer actors, he succeeded with flying colors! A story of marriage struggles, addictions, fear of failure, gossip, rumors and overcoming impossible situations, "Fight" is a movie that isn't just about boxing. It is about trying one last time!

This movie truly will lift you up no matter what you are going through. The message can really appeal to anyone who has gone through struggles in their life. The cast and crew did a fantastic job. A true underdog story!

The well-placed establishing shots coupled with the driving music set the tone for some great storytelling. The cinematography was creative and effective without being overly 'artsy' which can be difficult on any budget. I was also impressed by the raw and authentic performances given by the lead actors. Well-done.
