Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

m_roberts_07 To be honest I didn't think much of this before I watched it expecting it to be poor quality. Was I wrong!! I loved this movie!!! I don't understand why people would post a negative review. Fair enough American Brawler is slightly B-Grade with a plot that's been done to death.However, in saying so this is a different format of the typical plot line regarding a struggling martial artist is fighting in an illegal bare knuckle circuit in order to save his school or to prevent himself from filing for bankruptcy.I enjoyed the creation of characters and especially the fight scenes...there were some awesome scenes during the fights when they are fighting fast paced, but then slow motion. I loved it! Overall, the movie makers should definitely do more movies like this. Thanks for keeping martial arts movies alive.I have been watching martial arts movies throughout my childhood until adulthood. I recommend this if you are a martial arts movie buff such as myself.To the negative reviewers...you must have bad taste in movies.

arun_latvia What should I say about this? I hadn't written much reviews in IMDb. But this movie made me to write one. A basic stunt movie where the stunts totally lack the pace. There is nothing much to watch except the overall 15 minutes stunts in 1 hour 20 minutes. This movie kind of an insult to all kind of stunt movies. I hate Tekken a lot. This movie was more worse than that. At least Tekken had some good lengthy stunts. Carlos Castillo's stunt moves were bad than Ricky's. Terrible movie. Save your money and time rather than watching this.The Stunts scenes should have been available in youtube by now. Just watch that and read the plot from IMDb and that's it.

Joseph Philbert Barrio Brawler is a pretty good watch I would even go to see it in the theater, it was such a surprise for the usual trash that Asylum low budget crap.Actors was believable (somewhat predictable) The Plot was the same usual crap with a twist ... you know brother gets in trouble and ask older brother to help with his gambling/gangster issues, but it added to the flow of the movie quite well.The camera angles and slooowMO effects were VERY NICE I must say.. and me rewinding to see the moves again.All in ALL I recommend this movie ... I would give it a 10 but some of the acting was not on point ... but don't let that stop you from watching it.

Chris Mackey (guestar57) Stars: Morgan Benoit. A Jose Montesinos picture. When I was in my action/adventure movie immersion in the '70s and '80s, Michael Dudikoff would come out with a American Ninja flick like every 8 months. Barrio Brawler brings us again to the James Ryan,Leo Fong, and David Heavener School Of Acting- Athletes from decades back. The scenes come off "ROCKY" like from the raw first movie,Not the manufactured physique of 2-6 ? Jose Montesinos has a superstar, Morgan Benoit,Who like Jean-Claude Van Damme in his first major role is the bad guy, See what we are getting at – Barrio Brawler is awesome to watch ! The hero,Marco Alvarez, Has the underdog giving us his all acting style,Very welcome performance.
