I bought this for one purpose, which was to watch the fight scenes. The posters and trailers were promising: Young, fit, strong, not-bad-looking guy (Channing Tatum) on the front cover, who looks like he can fight, what's not to like?
Terrance Howard was great, and so was that old grandmother, but that is about it.
The fight choreography had potential but the camera work made little of what could have been quite good, especially in the middle fight against the Dragon Le (Cung Le). However, much of the technical aspects have been left out, and we're left with a flurry of shaky screens which was presumably exciting to some people.
The film is overly long drawn out and the soppy romance sequences gave me the time to type my opinions of this film on its Facebook page.
Not as bad as "Beyond The Ring", followed by "Never Back Down", which is really a modern spin on "Gladiator" (1992, Cuba Gooding Jr), which I think is a MUCH better film by far.

I can officially say that this is the worst fighting film I've ever seen. The acting is terrible (especially from the lead actor). The fight scenes are worse than in WWF and at no point in the film does it show "Shaun" (the prize fighter) training for his fights. Its seems as though in each fight, he just gets lucky.

If you too like all things poor like for example 'unrivaled' and rocky type films where an underdog wins despite being a bit poor then this film is for you...
How the hell can you give this film 5 stars or even a 4?! The box artwork and story gumph was very promising but all we re left with is a soooo slow story about a person who just fights.. for no apparent reason.. its just poor. The fights,again are ok and can be entertaining for all of a minute or so.. and likewise like the 'unrivaled' film its bettered by 'blood and bone'

Hardly a knockout.
Although it's an OK watch, Fighting holds little in the way of surprises. It's a paint by numbers, join the dots, 1,2,3 tale of an underdog whose only way of making a living is... Read more
