This is not just a movie about the relationship between a street fighter and a double amputee! This is a terrific love story between a young single father who manages to hold on to his son against incredible odds. He also has a relationship with a woman who lost both her legs and makes her appreciate life all over again. This is a love story, first, but it's also a story about being a father under extreme circumstance and about not giving up on life and all that it throws at you. There's plenty of material in this movie for both men and women to enjoy. In some ways, it's a "chick-flick", and yet there's enough fighting to satisfy the "guy film" criteria as well. Yes, it's in French with English subtitles. As far as that's concerned, all I can say is that once you get into the movie the subtitles fade and you just enjoy the film. In this case, I enjoyed it a lot!
