Resurrecting the Champ

View Date: 8/10/09

This movie, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Hartnett, is about a journalist who is down on his luck and can't get out from his father's shadow. He is a sports reporter, and meets a former champion boxer, now homeless, on his way home from a fight. The journalist continues to meet with the boxer and uncovers his story. He winds up submitting the story in a publication not the one he currently works for. Unfortunately, there are problems with the story that must then be paid for.

This movie was OK, but tended to drag at several places. The story was pretty good, but the acting was mediocre and I had trouble paying attention. I probably won't be watching this again, nor would I likely recommend it to others.

10 words or less: Just OK, but I won't be watching again.
