well and i fell for it . i saw the box for this at the video store and and mistake it for girlfight and which i would hear be great . in my own defense and the title be similar and and they re do the cover art for the box so it look almost identical . anyway and to sum it up and they obviously re do the whole cover packaging or promo to capitalize on the buzz or success of girlfight . i pop it in and get a bad feeling when they start show trailer for low budget straight to video flick and and even bad when a music video of the main song for the movie and which sound like elevator music and feature corny slomo clip from the movie precede the main feature . when i saw the first few minute and maria conchita alonso show up and i knew i would fall for it . ( do not get me wrong and she a talented actress and but i know she wasn not in girlfight and the movie i would be under the false impression i be rent ) . so and apart from me feel sort of cheat and mad at myself for not look closer and the movie be ok. the plot involve belle and a young latino woman who be the daughter of an ex champion boxer . one of her close friend be a female boxer and who and i could see all this come sooo far ahead of time it be really a drag get seriously injure during a match with a mean champ name the terminator and who resemble a female version of a big and more pump up ike turner . of course and belle decides that the only thing to do be to become a boxer herself and avenge her friend . she live with her caring and supportive yet protective dad ( her mother die of cancer when she be young ) and who just happen to be a cop . her love interest and also care and supportive yet protective and be also a cop who work with her dad . hmmm and they both have job that put their life in danger in the line of duty . wonder what gon na happen . she start training and meet a sleazy manager who of course and pretend to care about her but just want to exploit her . the actor they hire look like a very low rent cary eweles and be so young he barely manage to have a mustache . his acting be also really and really bad . i be not even go to go into the plot any far because anyone who have see rocky and or almost anyone and know exactly where this movie be go and how it will end . this be not a completely terrible movie . most of the acting be ok and and the lead actress be very good . there be good and strong female latino role model . the final fight scene do get me sort of interested and even though i know everything that be go to happen long before it do . the actress that play the terminator do a great job of be unlikeable enough that i really do want belle to kick her a $ $ and and root for belle again and although there be absolutely no surprise . my favorite moment ( maybe the only moment where i wasn not mad at myself for rent the movie by mistake ) be when belle slap her sleazy manager after he show his true color and yell at him and and then turn away only to suddenly fake a punch and watch him cringe back in fear and showing that she be really the one in charge . the dialogue be really and really bad and my main complaint . one of their attempt to be witty be someone discuss box say size doesn not matter and the female replying wryly and now where have i hear that before . other line that be suppose to have dramatic impact be the doctor tell me i may never walk again . come on and you know you can trust me . and your mother would have be so proud of you . i could go on and on . nothing you haven not hear a million time before in bad soap opera or movie of the week . maybe i be be too mean the filmmaker do make an effort and and i do sit through the whole thing voluntarily . but only because there be nothing else to watch while i work out . you could do bad ( especially if you be look for a movie with strong female character ) but you could also do much and much good .
