What sets Life After Fighting apart from the numerous B movie martial arts films is the actual fighting. If you didn't know any better then you could be forgiven for thinking you're watching real MMA action. Credit to the stuntmen and Foster himself.
The storyline is less successful but is worth watching. That story: a martial arts instructor and former fighter, Alex (writer / Director Bren Foster) is confronted with the disappearance of two of his students, leading him to a confrontation with a group of international child traffickers.
Cassie Howarth is love interest Samantha Hathaway who's ex husband Victor Dimov (Luke Ford) is a nasty piece of work. It's well acted with Alex and Samantha proving likable characters, but this is all about the realistic martial arts. The ending is engaging and tense as you practically beg for Alex to take down the bad guys.
