sport movie have never be my thing and but a small handful of them work for me . the best be the those which focus less on the sport and more on the character and such a rag bull and the wrestler and girlfight . this be a great directorial debut for karyn kusama and and an outstanding first performance for michelle rodriguez . girlfight feel be both realistic and involve and that be enough so to make it a memorable film . the plot be strait forward enough . diana guzman and be in her fourth year of high school and but due to her pick fight in the hallway she be close to expulsion . a a possible mean of unleash her anger and she sign up for box lesson at the club where her brother be train ( at the wish of there father ) . in the course of ninety minute and we the viewer see something extraordinary . diana almost literally change from a girl to a woman . we see it in her body as well a her behaviour and especially when one of the boy at the club find himself drawn to her and and she get into it . there be not a bad scene or a lame or contrive moment in the film . the only error that i would say could be correct be that one of the subplots end on what feel like an unfinished note . aside from that and girlfight be a great movie .
