Fighting
A naïve guy (Channing Tatum) trying to sell counterfeit goods hooks up with a street wise two-bit hustler/Faginish manager (Terrace Howard) to become a bare knuckle back room brawler in some illegal NYC no holds barred bouts. The film is fairly predictable, but a bit better than you would have expected due to the character relationships. The hero, Shawn MacArthur, is a man with a past and a chip on his shoulder. He meets a love interest and he eventually battles his old nemesis in the big fight.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "toe to toe and blow for blow" stars out of 4.
