A compelling and movie story as we follow the journey of MIchael through a painful life. I admit it, I an a martial arts fan and enjoyed the spine of that discipline in this movie. Michael uses it to help restructure his life and get back on track. But you don't have to be a martial arts fan to identify with this wonderfully acted redemptive story. Anyone who has faced and overcome challenges will find plot lines to identify with. Worth a watch.

Enjoyed this movie. The interaction with the lead characters was very real. They shared the deepest elements of their personalities. The compassion for another human being combined with allowing someone inside the wall that sometimes is allowed to be put up. There was time given for trust to grow and love to grow. The love of martial arts was strong and gave them a bridge to cross into each other to try and cast out inner feelings of disappointment and low self worth. They both won the battle. Highly recommend.

Lion Killer is a movie that is not in my wheel house but I must say it surprised me. Life is a fight whether it's Jiu-Jitsu a relationship or otherwise. There is a lot of heart and messages in this movie. Two thumps up.

What a terrific film! I'm not a big martial arts guy so I didn't know what to expect. But boy, was I ever pleased I took a flyer out on this one and checked out this gem of an indie film. Derek Fury did a wonderful job as an actor, director and writer. I can appreciate that's no easy thing to do. I really enjoyed the story and the pacing of the film. The story was so well written! The actors I thought were all quite good. Especially the leads. Bravo to all!!

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.

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.

This film was incredibly unique as it centered around jiu jitsu and those who participate in the sport. There was a romantic element involved which gave me Karate Kid vibes (I grew up in the 80s and my level of knowledge of the martial arts comes from those films). The actors were passionate and I loved Derrick Fury's energy. He really brought an interesting character to the screen. Watch it if you like the sport!

Lion Killer isn't what I expected at all. Much better, actually. Beautifully-filmed, well-acted by a good-looking cast, and with a very interesting story about battling inner demons through martial arts. An adult version of The Karate Kid, one might say, although that doesn't do it justice.

Really enjoyed this sweet story about two souls struggling to overcome their past traumas. The director clearly has a specific POV reflected in the tone and aesthetic of the film. It was refreshing to watch a film that revolves around real issues and self-discovery. We all have our struggles in life and I found the individual arcs of Michael and Noelle very relatable. Definitely worth watching!
