Female Fight Club is about Rebecca, a former illegal pit fighter who gets pulled back in when her sister owes a ridiculous amount of money.
Female Fight Club, later retitled as female fight squad, is a feminist action movie filmed in 2015, but not released until 2017 that concentrates on the injustices women face in a male dominated environment that theatrically debuted in the United Arab Emirates. That's not fair though. It actually debut on TV and DV, in other very sexually progressive countries.
Female fight club in actuality plays out like a millennial closet misogynist's wet dream. It lampshades the sexual sadism involved in the spectacle of a female blood sport, but then it makes that common mistake of becoming what it beheld and un-ironically indulging in the same exact spectacle, culminating in a sex scene intercut with a fight scene as if this film even had the credibility to pull that off. This film makes Showgirls look like something that was released last year by peccadillo pictures.
But why care about a modern day genre film that is less politically aware than it proclaims to be? It's nothing new. Aesthetics no longer define politics. Aesthetics are nothing but politics now. There is no distinction. But, where the hell was i? Ah, yes, why should i care about a direct to dvd action film being hypocritical in it's message? Well because when the most entertaining fight scenes in your women's only MMA film star a fifty eight year old Dolph Lundrgen, then i gotta start asking questions somewhere.
Female Fight Club has the exact same problem that a film like Raze did. It tries to tell a story which features complex emotions and plot twists and all that crap, and does not have the caliber of screenplay or cast to pull it off. These women were cast for their athletic backgrounds, not thespian. It would be awesome if they had both, but few people have. The worst scenes are the scenes with people talking because they are flatly acted and photographed. They obviously had little investment put into them and therefore any message this film had, feels forced and patronising, undeserved.
Apart from a decent third act, Female Fight Club is an utterly mediocre fight film that displays less personality than a Bloodsport sequel.
