Lion Killer

Lion Killer takes us into the world of Brazilian Jui-Jitsu instructor, Michael. The choreography of the dojo scenes was excellent. I loved the performances by Matthew Meehan and Regina Ting Chen and was incredibly impressed with the quality of the filmmaking. A wonderful combination of writing and cinematography as well. Masterfully done, highly recommend.

I always love to see martial arts films. Lion Killer is an interesting non-Hollywood take, looking at the personal stories of Michael and Noelle, who are trying to deal with their difficult pasts to rebuild together towards a more hopeful future. It was less glamorized and more focused on real people. The message and story seemed authentic as well as the Jiu-Jitsu, so overall I could appreciate this different genre blend than in a traditional martial arts movie.

Lion Killer is a unique indie film that combines Jiu-Jitsu, drama, and a love story in a way that I haven't seen on screen. I have to admit that I was immediately intrigued by the film's title and the slick poster, so I wanted to check it out and I wasn't disappointed.

The lead characters in Lion Killer, Michael and Noelle, have struggled through some difficult times and have to find a way to heal in order to give their budding relationship a real shot, which makes for a compelling narrative. I've also dabbled a bit in Jiu-Jitsu, so that was of particular interest to me, and it seems apparent that members of the cast are real martial artists, which gave the film a lot of legitimacy in that department that sometimes even big Hollywood films lack. If you're intrigued by this unique combo of martial arts, drama, and love like I was, then check out Lion Killer.

Lion Killer tells the story of 2 lost souls trying to find their place in the world after a lifetime of tragedies. The movie has some great cinematography and a good soundtrack. It's a bit reminiscent of Good Will Hunting and Karate Kid. Lion Killer leaves a powerful message with a lot of heart.

An Indie film that explores emotional struggles and human relationships as well as been insightful in the world of Jiu- Jitsu. The martial arts were done expertly and weaved very well into the tone of the story.
