Angelfist

About This Movie

Angelfist is an interesting blend of action and thriller set against the vibrant backdrop of the Philippines. The film has this raw energy, especially during the fight scenes where the practical effects are quite engaging. You’ve got Christy, a kickboxer, who unwittingly captures a political assassination, which sets off a chain of events that leads to her untimely demise. Then Kat, her sister, steps into the fray—she's got that classic tough cop vibe. The pacing varies, sometimes slow as it builds tension, other times it’s a whirlwind of kicks and punches. The atmosphere feels gritty, almost reminiscent of some of the lower-budget action flicks from the early '90s. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s got a certain charm and an authentic feel that you just don’t see much anymore.
