Saw at SXSW - it rocks!

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2005)

Speaking as a movie viewer, I love a movie with action, a believable story and some heart. This movie delivers on all counts. It's like Fight Club in the West End of London (without the schizophrenia.) The plot alternates between pulsing sound and bare-knuckle street fighting and real, tangible character development.
Elijah Wood delivers a great performance unlike the boyish roles he's had thus far. He really mixes it up in this movie. All of the performances were VERY strong...not really a weak link in the bunch.
Speaking as a female filmmaker, I'm SO GLAD to see a woman director and woman producer make a movie that KICKS BUTT! For all who don't think women can make a good action movie...this proves them wrong.
I REALLY hope this one gets theatrical release AND distribution. I'd love to see it again on the big screen and own in in my DVD collection.
You go, Lexi!!!
