"Fighting." "Hangover." This is what entertains us these days? This is deep?

Cage fighting for humans as Senator McCain characterizes as "human cock-tighting," now sails by our TV screens as entertainment. Tell me, what the diff between that and gladiators 3,000 years ago in the Coliseum in Rome? Nada, methinks. Roger....Tucson Full Review

This movie was very entertaining. The fighting was exciting, and it also had a goos story line. It kept you guessing until the very end. I could go... ack and see it again. Full Review

This movie far exceeded my expectations. It was a very real movie with good acting. My only criticism would be that you could get lost in the ending... if you don't follow close enough. Other than that, good movie. Worth seeing. Full Review

Fighting has real grit and excellent acting. In other words, there is gold in that dirt.Full Review

Fighting doesn’t break new ground so much as animate B-movie types, but New York movies this gritty and flavorful don't come along very often.Full Review

I like the way the personalities are allowed to upstage the plot in Fighting, a routine three-act fight story that creates uncommonly interesting characters.Full Review

In a genre where too many films are all brawn and no brain, Fighting is a contender.Full Review

Not everything that happens in Fighting entirely makes sense -- it's a fable, after all, and a fable doesn't necessarily have to -- but it breathes with a rough, exuberant realism that you rarely see in movies of its kind.Full Review
