Fighting (2009)
6/10
Decent plot just poorly written

Terrence Howard is rising up to be one of the greats no doubt about it, however this film wasn't for him. This movie did a good job at staying unpredictable, but at the same time it maintained a very poor choice of dialogue throughout. The emotions were way off at sometimes the dialogue insisted they be stronger. Vise versa applies in this situation as well. Channing Tatum isn't a GREAT actor, however he's not terrible either. This movie obviously decided to play it safe and let Tatum stick to his rough guy image he seems to persistently play. If he opened up his role choice he would probably be a better actor. Fighting wasn't terrible, however some of the dialogue wasn't flowing. Apparently after he wins the first fight he is a great fighter. I didn't understand that at all because he may have got 2 hits from what I could see due to the poor camera angles. Not a memorable movie at all, but it wasn't horrid. 6/10
