Tribeca Film Festival Mini-Review No. 2

Kung-Fu-The-Complete-Collection.jpgFighter, 100 minutes.

Think "Bend it Like Beckham,'' only in Danish, Turkish and English, featuring a cute, spunky, Turkish-Dane girl next store whose father just doesn't understand her burning desire to cut down much larger male opponents as a Kung Fu black belt.

The cultural and generational clashes are derivative, sure, but Natasha Arthy is a compelling lead as the multi-lingual havoc-wreaker and to the best of my knowledge the fighting scenes are well choreographed.

There is an inevitable climactic fight against the bad guy, plus a lot of American-style hip hop music.

And the poor girl's father. Oy. Kids today. What are you gonna do?
