This movie is a well done indie Drama with family values. I watched it with my 14 year old and 18 year old who loved it! I would rather watch a high budget action movie. I will say the homeless guy (Steve Daron) has some nice boxing skills But the fight scenes showed it was a low budget movie. Excellent emotional acting in certain scenes was moving but still not my blood and gore fix.

Shame on you IMDb, to allow fake reviews for movies like this. It's obvious all those positive reviews have been written by staff, family, friends of actors that participated in this stinker. 7.7 for this piece of garbage, really? From the first minute you already have that nasty feeling you made a big mistake starting to watch this monstrosity. There is absolutely nobody that can act in this movie. They just put Burt Reynolds in the cast to attract people. He has about two lines and he looks like he's at the end of his life, ironically he was as he died not much later. If they would have at least took some real fighters from a boxing club or something, just to make the fights look interesting, but no even that was too much to ask. Nobody in this movie can fight, that's obvious, they couldn't beat my grandma. The scenes are terrible to watch. The script looks like it's been written by a five year old with a cerebral disease. Probably one of the worst movies I ever saw in my life. Avoid at all costs.

Loved the movie. Really entertaining and passionate acting. Story of an unlikely friendship. Recommend this for all to watch. I only wish the story had a bit more, I felt like it gave way in the middle but still giving it a 7, hopefully they will make a part two.

Great action movie with a nice meaning that comes with it. I seen this with my nephews and they were hooked to the very end. Shadow Fighter's a good movie, deserves at least an eight stars.

I started watching this movie with excitement. It was rated 7.7 (which I consider quite high). With a rating like that surely it is very good. Such a rating really raises the important question of legitimacy. These people that rate the movie a 9 or 10 must be somehow tied to the production, or they were simply paid. It is disgraceful. The acting is absolutely woeful and the director needs to go back to film school because I am not sure how anybody could have let slide what was seen on the dailies. This is a C grade movie. At its absolute best. If I was involved in this production I would be too embarrassed to put my name to it because if people are turning off your movie 10 or 20 minutes in... Surely something is majorly wrong with it.

I was a little skeptical about watching this but since they had won a few awards in Los Angeles I thought i'd give it a shot. Firstly I liked the relationship between the inner city teen and the homeless ex-boxer. I thought that really built the story up along with many situations that people are currently living in. A great movie for those who like a pick me up movie. Great acting and it was nice to see Burt Reynolds in this one also.

I thought the trailer was done well so I gave it a shot and it turned great. The actors are really talented and poured their hearts out in this film. Also a decent storyline with some nice cinematography kept me glued to the screen till the very end. Had that rocky feel to it.
