New This Week: “Fighting”

Fighting comes out in theaters tomorrow.  The movie starring Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard forces viewers to take a hard look at the underworld of streetfighting.

When small-town boy Shawn MacArthur (Channing Tatum) arrives in New York City, he has nothing.  He turns to selling counterfeit goods on the streets to try to make a living but his life takes a dramatic change when scam artist Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) sees that he has a natural talent for streetfighting.

Harvey takes on the role of Shawn’s manager and turns him into a star.  Working in the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, Shawn takes down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts.  Of course, this life can’t last forever and Shawn must find a way to escape the dark world and learns that, if he wants to leave, he needs to prepare for the toughest fight of his life.
