Why the bad reviews? I watched Fighting yesterday, and reading all the critics in internet, it was quite a pleasant suprise to see this movie. The critics should get a life from time to time, go out and enjoy the sun or something, Fighting is a quite alright movie. you will get a feel-good mood after this film. they don't even need to put any kind of naked scenes in it, the story and the acting itself is enough to drive the movie.
I've seen Channing Tatum in a few movies, most of them light movies, musicals or teenager comedies. He is not bad as an actor, I think he has a good future in the business, not to mention the good looks. His latest film G.I. Joe Cobra seems quite the summer hit (I know a lot of you already seen the GI Joe, but I'm still waiting for the bluray 720p version, to fully enjoy the special effects).
Channing Tatum plays a street fighter with no money and no future, who sells fake ipods and sleeps in the park. He meets Terrence Howard, a street hussler who sees the potential and puts him in a few street fights.
Tatum's goal is always to win the fight, Howard tries always to convince him to lose and to bet the money on the losing. The relantionship between them develops quite interestingly, there are a few nice moments, and also some laughs.
The romance angle is also there, we get to see Zulay Henao playing a very cute mommy and the chemistry between Zulay and Channing is quite well played, it's not one of those artificial fake love stories.
The fights are OK, Channing Tatum's character has a lifetime enemy in Brian White, hid buddy from college, who's now a professional fighter with lots of money and connections. So the final fight between them is worth watcing.
There are also a lot of bad guys, Luis Guzman is supposed to be one of them, but he plays really relaxed and smart, something like: 'nice, nice, let me shake your hand man, you're a walking dead man'.
Fighting has a happy end, like I said, it's a feel-good movie, best for a popcorn beer night.
Go see this movie or get it in bluray, you're in good hands, especially with Terrence Howard.
