Fighting - Movie Review and Synopsis

In New York City, a young counterfeiter (Tatum) is introduced to the world of underground street fighting by a seasoned scam artist (Howard), who becomes his manager on the bare-knuckling brawling circuit.

The secret weapon here is not Channing Tatum’s untapped potential to be violent; rather, it’s writer-director Dito Montiel, who coaxed out Tatum’s lone well-received performance in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (it’s the chiseled young star’s Shattered Glass, if you will). Let’s also consider the presence of Terrence Howard and Luis Guzmán, two performers who could make lesser actors better by default. With the right underdog characterization, action choreography, and editing, this one might not be as bad as even I, or you, think.

Rated PG-13 for intense fight sequences, a sex scene and brief strong language.
