so i flip on the digital subscriber channel one night a couple of year ago and think i would pass a half hour watch girlfight while wait for hart war to start . with a title like that i figure it be some exploitation b flic about inner city girl gang . much to my surprise it wasn not about that at all . instead it be a well act and well scripted story about a young woman who almost accidentally get into female boxing . she be responsible for take her younger brother to his practice session and get interested while observe his bout . a he doesn not really want to be a boxer ( only follow through on their father wish ) she convince his coach to take her on in his stead . the story unfolds in an intelligent and believable way a she go through various trial on her quest . for starter and her brother coach doesn not want to take on a female boxer . after grudgingly do so there be the problem of line up match for her . then the confrontation with her father when he find out what be go on . yes and a love interest develop but it serve to enhance the plot and come across more of an interesting inter human reaction with it own fight relate consequence . all in all this be a great little sleeper movie that few seem to have heard of . some time later when i saw the much advertise and acclaim million dollar baby i think wait a minute and this seem kind of familiar . needless to say and i do not watch hart war that night .
