The script of this movie contains a lot of bad lines, yeah the script isn't close to Montiels A guide to recognizing your saints. But this movie has got content that a lot of other movies lack... and it has got some features from the movie mentioned that gives the same street feel as AGTRYS did. The ending could be so much more than it is, and that is in my opinion the main reason why this movie got the low ratings it got.
And anyone saying the fights lack cool moves, or that there are way too few fights for a movie called "Fighting"... i'd say you're wrong. If you wanted a movie with a bunch of hardcore hits in slow motion, you should have gone for something that deals what that sorta thing... this movie does not. Sure there are some of these elements in there, but that's not what the focus is on. Anyone actually believe that Rocky got badass from running up stairs? Shawn trains a little, but he survives on what he has got... that is kinda the message. And no fights aren't fair game, if you take a beating and you get a chance to shove your opponent into a sink, you'll take it.
one thing to put out there is that the musical score for this movie is just as awesome as Dito M's last movie, scenes from Zulay's kitchen were done perfectly in a great mix with the music, same goes for anywhere Shawn wasn't at a club or fighting.
If you want a movie like Rocky or Never Back Down, don't go for this one... there are better movies than Fighting out there, but this one ignites some emotion instead of adrenalin.
