Full Review (Spoilers)

Fist Fight suffers from having Charlie Day as its leading man. You have a okay plot on paper that comes to life and just feels weak. Jillian Bell is by far the best part in this movie and she’s not in the movie as often as the most of the characters. You’re better off sticking away from this movie that tries to bring a certain message but fails.

Fist Fight (2017) is directed by Richie Keen and stars Ice Cube, Charlie Day, Tracy Morgan, Jillian Bell and Christina Hendricks. It runs 91 minutes and is rated R. You can look up the full cast and crew on IMDb. You might also like my Fifty Shades Darker review.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d cast a different lead than Charlie Day and give Jillian Bell more screen time.
