Fighting was the first good Hollywood movie of 2009. As director Dito Montiel revealed once the movie was in the can, Fighting was originally pitched to him as a street basketball movie. Dito decided to darken it and make it an underground fighting movie, and amazingly the studio approved it. Fighting has a familiar plot, familiar twists, and a satisfying ending. But it is executed very well, has some pretty good fighting scenes, above-average acting (yes, even Tatum is good here), and a slight homage to the New York noirs of the 1970s (think Panic in Needle Park or Dog Day Afternoon). And to my surprise, women really like this movie. Not just because of Channing Tatum, but also because of the oddball Terrence Howard, the pacing of the movie, and the not-too-graphic fighting scenes. Give it a shot.
