To be honest I didn't think much of this before I watched it expecting it to be poor quality. Was I wrong!! I loved this movie!!! I don't understand why people would post a negative review. Fair enough American Brawler is slightly B-Grade with a plot that's been done to death.
However, in saying so this is a different format of the typical plot line regarding a struggling martial artist is fighting in an illegal bare knuckle circuit in order to save his school or to prevent himself from filing for bankruptcy.
I enjoyed the creation of characters and especially the fight scenes...there were some awesome scenes during the fights when they are fighting fast paced, but then slow motion. I loved it! Overall, the movie makers should definitely do more movies like this. Thanks for keeping martial arts movies alive.
I have been watching martial arts movies throughout my childhood until adulthood. I recommend this if you are a martial arts movie buff such as myself.
To the negative reviewers...you must have bad taste in movies.
