Two Fists, One Heart is a 2008 Australian drama film directed by Shawn Seet and written by Rai Fazio, and is based on Fazio's own life growing up.[1] The film is set and was shot in Perth, Western Australia. The film follows Anthony Argo, an Italian Australian boxer whose Sicilian father/trainer wants Anthony to pursue boxing but he forsakes it when he meets Kate and perceives differently than his father the violence in the sport. She is a girl from the other side of the tracks. But Anthony reconsiders when his father's boxing student quits; Anthony begins to train much more than before in preparation for the biggest fight of his life.
Cinema Autopsy awarded the film 2.5 stars.[2] The film was heavily criticized in the article I'm Here to Save Screen Australia Time and Money,[3] and Screen Australia's CEO Ruth Harley expressed disappointment in the article "Screen Aus reviews Two Fists Failure".[4]
