Brooklyn Girls Fight Club (2013) Online

In the heart of Brownsville, Brooklyn, 100 or so young men and women from the surrounding housing projects gather inside a secret windowless garage. In the center is a brightly lit boxing ring stained with dried blood from a previous fight. Standing in the ring, two women dressed in regular street clothes and wearing martial arts training gloves are punching air preparing to not just fight, but brawl - bringing all of the despair and violence that surrounds their lives into the ring. No grabbing. No kicking. No scratching. No hair pulling. No biting. Three rounds. Ninety seconds a round. This is Brooklyn Girls Fight Club and the winnings are $1000 cash and invaluable street cred. A FilmBuff Presentation.

The film begins with an outright lie. "Women bare-knuckle brawl in an undisclosed location...". Perhaps the director should look up the definition of "bare-knuckle". The opening scene, and every fight scene thereafter shows women fighting with gloved or tape-wrapped hands. If the film were advertised as such, viewers wouldn't bother to give it a chance. Perhaps that is why the director felt it necessary to deceive potential viewers. With the possibility of witnessing a real-life fight club, a la "Fight Club", the thrill factor increases ten-fold. Prepare to be disappointed & disrespected. While "Brooklyn Girls Fight Club" delves into the internal & external struggles of poverty & oppression, one can't help feeling cheated from the outset.
