It's a good movie, but I warn you...IT'S NOT ABOUT BOXING. If you watch this film expecting a sort of Rocky Balboa flick, you'll get disappointed. Sadly, I did. While drowsily hatching eggs in my condominium, I picked up "Resurrecting The Champ" thinking that I would be instantly taken to the exciting world of heavyweight boxing, ringside view, but my expectations were not met.
This film is not about boxing..it's about JOURNALISTS writing about BOXING. Get what I mean??
In fact, there was no real boxing match! It's just about a journalist who writes about a pathetic former boxer who lives on the streets. The boxer claims to be the legendary Bob Satterfield. But later, you'll find out that he isn't what he claims to be. So the journalist's life and reputation gets messed up. The pathetic loser boxer gets messed up too. My time is messed up too, because I was bored with the movie.
The only saving grace for this movie was the way Samuel Jackson played the role of the pathetic former boxer. I mean, five stars for the performance! He deserves an Oscar or at least a Golden Globe.
I still give this film 3 stars out of five. Not totally bad. Just BAD in some aspects.
