Film Review – Come Out Fighting

Writer/director Steven Luke really likes war films. In fact, he’s spent the majority of his career in the subgenre, trying to make some low-budget magic happen with grizzled tales of battle including “Operation Seawolf,” “Battle of the Bulge: Winter War,” “The Great War,” and “Wunderland.” It should come as no surprise to learn that Luke’s latest production is yet another war film, with “Come Out Fighting” looking to highlight the challenges of racism and displays of bravery involving black soldiers during World War II. It’s a noble endeavor, but not an especially exciting one, with Luke limited in resources and dramatic power to bring his men-on-a-mission story to full power. It’s not all disappointing, as the feature shows some signs of life, but there’s a better, more stirring effort to be made about the subject, with “Come Out Fighting” in need of budgetary might and a more direct approach to battlefield activity.
