As bad as this movie looked, I went into it with an open mind but as I suspected it was pretty bad. The dialogue was the worst part by far; it consists of some combination of mumbling and incoherent slang. The acting is terrible despite Mr. Howard doing his best to try and act his way out of the script. The narrative is scattered and cliché and has no original plot elements. You would figure a movie called "Fighting" would at least be saved by its fight sequences but its not, there are some half decent moments but most of the time you can't really tell what's going on however the final fight wasn't to bad. There are some genuine attempts at emotion throughout but usually they fall flat. There were way to many moments where I laughed but wasn't supposed to, especially the speech given right before the last fight. Overall it's a terribly acted movie with an even worst script.

When I started this series i was afraid it was going to be a 3rd rate "Twilight", quite the opposite actually. This show is everything Twilight wished it was. The show is so very heartfelt, poignant and provides a lot of laughs. The writing and the acting lead to a lot of moments that tug at your heartstrings, the show doesn't shy away from themes involving race, homophobia, incest, alcoholism and other deep issues. Anna Paquin does a very simply written character quite well and gives her a touch of life. The supporting cast is great, especially the actor that play Jason and Lafayette. There is some real camp value here to, some really hysterical tongue-in-cheek humor. This is an HBO drama so be aware of the nudity, sexuality, violence and all that other good stuff. True Blood depicts a horror/sci-fi topic done a million times in an original manner. A must see.
