But Ken is ultimately forced to face his past when the orphaned boy finds his way into Ken’s life, and Ken’s murderous friend is released from prison.
This movies comes across as being odd, clichéd and in the end left me feeling somewhat unsatisfied for actually devoting the time to actually watch this movie. The first ten minutes of Fist 2 Fist seemed to come across as what you might see on a novice stuntman’s show reel.
What, I found to be truly disappointing about this movie was that the majority of actors seemed to have some kind difficulty, when it came to expressing anything that resembled any kind of emotion. Overall, they really seemed to race the emotional speedo going from dull to angry in about the same time it takes a Bugatti Veyron to go 0 – 60mph. MMA porn probably would be accurate description of cinematic journey, you will go on should you take the brave decision of actually watching this movie. Sadly, Fist 2 Fist failed and did not offer anything more then what it was, should you be faced with the decision between Fist 2 Fist and Never back down I would recommend that you go with Never Back Down.
