Fighting

Starring: Channing Tatum, Terrence Howard, Zulay Velez

Drama, 2009 (Rated PG 13)

A young man struggling to get by in New York City has a chance encounter with a low end businessman who offers him an opportunity to make money doing underground fighting matches. Along the way he falls for a young woman who works in the bar the group frequents. Everything is on the line in a final match with a nemesis from his past.

• Channing Tatum is quite clearly very hot. Nice eye candy to look at and not a bad actor either.
• The whole underground fighting scene seemed kind of phony.
• Good movie that kept me entertained from start to finish.
