Fighting Movie Trailer

Rouge Pictures has released the first trailer for Fighting action drama set in the world of underground street fighting. The film stars Channing Tatum as a small-town boy Shawn MacArthur, who has come to New York City with nothing. Terrence Howard sees that he has a natural talent for streetfighting. The trailer is everything you might expect it to be, and not much more — which is disappointing because I really loved the originality and style of Dito Montiel's indie debut to A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. Watch the trailer and leave your thoughts after the jump.

"Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden  When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership. As Shawn's manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he's found himself, he must now face the toughest fight of his life."
