Let me be very clear about this. Natasha Arthy’s Fighter is a film we think very, very highly of around these parts so when I put the words 'misleading' and 'awesome' in the same sentence I don't want you thinking that the brand new UK trailer for the picture is misleading when it comes to quality. It's not, this film is fantastic. It's just that this new trailer makes it look like some sort of vigilante justice film rather than the coming of age picture that it actually is.

In Fighter Arthy went out and got herself an actual, national champion martial artist - who also turned out to be one very fine actress - and built a story around her skills and the fact that being a young Turkish woman in Denmark trying to make her way in a dominantly male sport does not play well with conservative elements of her ethnic culture. It's a sterling bit of work on a story level, one that integrates the martial arts tightly into the characters rather than simply bouncing from fight scene to fight scene. Though with Crouching Tiger's Xian Gao on board as choreographer they certainly could have done that, too, if they'd wanted.

But I digress ... Momentum Pictures are releasing this on DVD in the UK in early February. You'l find the trailer below the break.
