Details

Beat Down is an irreverent comedy about wrestling, family and following your dreams no matter how painful that can sometimes be. Fran Whiteway (Marthe Bernard, Republic of Doyle) is eighteen and a real firecracker. More than anything, Fran dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. Her single-father Whitey (Robb Wells, Trailer Park Boys) is a former-pro, aka White Lightning, with broken dreams of his own and is dead set against Fran wrestling. Fran is determined though and when Whitey's old rival Dark Thunder (Tony Nappo, Saw II) comes to town, she runs away to join his tour. Whitey is devastated and while he tries to get his daughter back, Fran learns the ropes of the wrestling game and of life itself.

Reviews

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
