Life After Fighting, is an above average, Aussie

Life After Fighting, is an above average, Aussie martial arts, action flick. In spite of having what appears to be a modest budget Life After Fighting dishes up a serviceable back story, with convincing acting to match. That said, said, what really makes this film work is extremely polished martial arts action. Action that picks up pace and brutality, as the film progresses. This flick is never dull but I did feel the violence could have been taken down, a peg or two, without detracting from the hard core action focus, of the film. In summary, if you like martial arts action flicks that are well paced and polished, this is a must watch.

Bren Foster builds a world and then lights it on fire

For an independent Australian film, Life After Fighting does action like nothing seen from the country before. The pacing of the film builds tension like a coiled spring for most of its runtime only to unleash with a truly unexpected fury that's well worth the wait.There's clear influences from Hong Kong cinema in the care in creating investment in the characters before launching into the truly brutal fight choreography.This will be known as a future classic of the genre and I can't wait to see where Bren Foster expands his craft next. The final action set piece will be rewatched and talked about for years.
