Fist Fighter: Review

starstarstarstar
George Rivero stars in this unengaging action film as C.J. Thunderbird, an American tough guy who becomes involved in the corrupt and often dangerous world of bareknuckle boxing in Mexico. When C.J. chooses to be managed by former boxer Harry "Punchy" Moses (Edward Albert) rather than fight promoter Billy Vance (Mike Connors), the underhanded Vance sees to it that C.J. and Moses end up in prison. Spurning the offer of the sadistic warden (Simon Andreu) who also wants to manage the talented fistfighter, C.J. finds himself battling the warden's "beast" for his freedom. An overlong story with little character development, FIST FIGHTER is full of unanswered questions, most notably about the nature of the warden's "beast." Director Frank Zuniga elicits less-than-impressive performances from his actors, but the photography by Hans Burman and the sets by Francisco Magallon and Seth Santa Cruz are quite good. leave a comment
