Even those that want to point to Tombstone have to remember it was released in 1993 and another great western in The Proposition has been virtually ignored.

If Channing Tatum is the fighter in Fighting, then the only other name actor would have to be the corrupt A-hole, right? Terrence Howard is Harvey, the shady street hood who gets young Shawn into the world of street fighting, but the movie doesn.t play exactly the same notes you might expect.
Terrence Howard on Fighting
.He.s got a mean streak of morality running up his spine,. Howard said. .Remember Val Kilmer said, as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, .My hypocrisy only goes but so far.. Later on, he says, .My hypocrisy seems to have no bounds.. Harvey, his hypocrisy only went but so far. You can cheat somebody on the streets. He didn.t like fighting. He couldn.t take a person.s life, but he didn.t help people live. So he.s at that strange place between good and bad,
