Life After Fighting, is an above average, Aussie martial arts, action flick. In spite of having what appears to be a modest budget Life After Fighting dishes up a serviceable back story, with convincing acting to match. That said, said, what really makes this film work is extremely polished martial arts action. Action that picks up pace and brutality, as the film progresses. This flick is never dull but I did feel the violence could have been taken down, a peg or two, without detracting from the hard core action focus, of the film. In summary, if you like martial arts action flicks that are well paced and polished, this is a must watch.
