Trailer radar: 'Fighting'

Dito Montiel, director of "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints," returns with "Fighting," an action drama starring Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard.

In the film, Tatum stars as Shawn, a poor dude selling counterfeit stuff on the streets of New York. But when he meets scam artist Harvey, his life takes a drastic turn.

Offered a ton of money for competing in dangerous streetfights, Shawn quickly rises to fame in this corrupt underworld, a place that will push him to his limits and show him that the life he's been looking for isn't all that glamorous.

Looking at this first trailer for the film, I don't know exactly what to think about this. Will it work as a decent drama, or is it just another brainless fight flick like "Never Back Down."?

We'll see when the film opens April 24, 2009. And by the way, this title sucks, right?

They should have called it "Fighter" or "Fighters".
