Channing Tatum and Terrence
Howard Give KO Performances in "Fighting" - On DVD
June 23, 2009
(JUNE 23) Synopsis of the movie: A
small-town boy hustling his way through the big city forms an uneasy
alliance with a scam artist who inducts him into the violent world of
bare-knuckle brawling in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints
writer/director Dito Montiel's unforgiving urban action film. Arriving
in New York City with little more than the shirt on his back, Shawn
MacArthur (Channing Tatum) makes ends meet by selling counterfeit goods
on the street. But times are tough and money is short, and just as
things are starting to look grim, Shawn crosses paths with crafty con
artist Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard). Harvey instantly recognizes
Shawn's natural talent for street fighting, and offers to help the
uneasy newcomer make some quick cash on the bare-knuckle circuit.
But making a living by brawling isn't
easy because the system is hopelessly corrupt, and the only people who
really come out on top are the rich businessmen who place wagers on the
disposable fighters. Still, Harvey's instincts were right, and Shawn
quickly makes a name for himself by taking down every opponent who
crosses his path, including mixed martial arts champs, veteran
pugilists, and ultimate fighters. As each bout becomes more intense,
Shawn realizes that his only hope for escaping this dark world is to
face his fiercest opponent to date. - Jason Buchanan.
