Call a movie Fighting, you expect action. Only include shots of Channing Tatum shirtless in the trailer, you expect to see half-naked Tatum. Fighting doesn't deliver either.

All of this, however, is plainly just a veneer on a solidly generic punch-up movie, and it thus becomes a drag. A more cartoonish approach would probably have been more fun.

The tell-it-as-it-is title hardly indicates anything out of the ordinary, but this bare-knuckle boxing flick is put together with more love than you'd expect.

There are no surprises here - this is a story that has been told before, many times. But Tatum gives us a glimpse of the charisma that could make him a star.

You couldn't call Fighting great - at its core it is simply too cruddy - but Montiel has managed to inject it with the smell and feel of the streets that he clearly once knew well.

Sep 08, 2016There's pretty much nothing to see other than some satisfaction for Tatum lovers. The story was thin as ice and contrived and the fight sequenced were dull as hell.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Jul 23, 2012When the punches are flying it's a good film, But the acting was very wooden and it seemed they made up half the plot on the spot and it dragged every scene as long as they could.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2011This movie was okay, I kinda liked it. The acting was just okay, and Channing Tatum is one of the great new rising stars. The concept was good, but the way they do it wasnt bad, but strange. Their were moments in the movie where Tatum would randomly run into aquantinces in the biggest city in America, WTF? In the end I enjoyed the movie, but it still was far from great.Bradley W Super Reviewer

Sep 01, 2011I found this quite fun to watch. It has the usual cliches and there are moments where the plot seems to go nowhere but the acting performances are solid and the fight scenes are realistic. This could have been so much more though but unfortunately all the key ingredients to make it a hit movie seem to have been left on the cutting room floor which is a shame as it has potential but it never fulfills it.Ian W Super Reviewer
