Review of Gallants

Gallants (2010)
8/10
I get it!
22 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Consider warned that I will be noting a specific climactic plot point that could be considered a spoiler. Until now I have only reviewed movies if I had more to say than "I liked it" or "I didn't like it". This time my motivation is simply because I really, really liked this movie a whole lot. This movie has a magic moment that is so rare but so wonderful when it happens. Without the moment I'd rate it a 6, slightly above average for the genre and date. The moment bumps it up to a remarkable 8 out of 10. So what about that moment? When the fight is over and the loser is laughing the younger guy doesn't get it and the line is something like "You'll get it in about 20 years." Simply put - I get it now. I've been a fan of these movies for a long time and I've practiced martial arts for 35 years. I have all the aches and pains and injuries to prove it. I am not as young or as good as I once was. That's exactly why I get it now and exactly why I liked it so much.
