    Wait for it on video

    by no7spaz

    Should have, and could have been a great movie. I had 5 boys with me, and we all wanted to fall asleep! We expected there to be more fighting, or at least more "training" scenes. He trained for like 3 minutes in the last 15 minutes or so of the film, and he only had like 3 "mini" fight scenes. WAIT FOR IT AT BLOCKBUSTER - OR BETTER YET - WAIT FOR IT AT RED BOX!

    Wheres the fighting????

    by Thumperhump84

    This movie was alll about this guy chasing some girl, the fight scenes were porely put together and the camera angles suck so that they didn't have to worry about trying to make it actually look like they're fighting. the worst thing is that between his fights he never spends any time even training for his upcoming fights. if you want to go see a sapy love story with bad acting then this is a movie for u but if you want to go watch a movie about fighting, hence the title, you will be sadly dissapointed.

    I like it!

    by Carmen00622

    I saw this movie by error. I went to the wrong theater room but since I was already in a seat, I said what the hey. I must say that I do not like to fight or fighting but this movie really got my heart pumping. I ready got into it. I even started to throw some punches in the air. This guy Channing Tatum is not bad to look either. Very enjoyable movie. It should of gotten a better rating than a C.
