Critic Reviews:
- " Channing Tatum (GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra) is crazy beautiful and perfectly cast as a slow, troubled young man. " – Cris Kennedy
- " There's something interesting in this film and that's the reality it brings to its subject matter. The scenes seem real. And that's a lot to do with the performances. They're all terrific. But there's the reality of New York too, there's grit here. " – Margaret Pomeranz
- " Entertaining and engaging, Fighting has action, romance and a buddy element in a tight, professional package. " – Andrew L. Urban
