Resurrecting the Champ stars Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Hartnett. The film is about a young reporter (Hartnett) looking for a story to kinda put his career on the map. When he meets a homeless self-proclaimed boxing legend, he runs with the story. Things take a turn when the identity of the homeless "Champ" is questioned.
My take
An interesting plot. Great actors, but fell somewhat short. I wasn't particularly impressed with Jackson's performance and the drama could have been milked a little more. I did like the lesson of the film, which was to bring focus to the father-son relationship. By no means one of the best boxing movies, but a nice rental watch.
