After arriving at the theater to find 'The Eye' had misprinted the showing location and time for Stardust, my friend and I found ourselves bouncing from nearby theater to theater, looking for something to see. We came upon, "Resurrecting the Champ" quite by accident; and with neither of us having even heard of it, we went in with rather dubious outlooks on how we might end up liking it. In fact, when we asked the box office worker what the movie was about, they shrugged their shoulders and said... "um... boxing, I think". Hardly being a real boxing fan myself, I walked into the theatre fully expecting it to be a very Long next couple of hours. What an amazing surprise!! It was such a great movie! The cinematography was beautiful, the casting was perfect, the characters were full of depth, life and believability! And, Samuel L. Jackson should, in my opinion be a real contender for an Oscar, for his portrayal of The Champ! HIGHLY Recommended Must See!!! :D

I saw this movie at a Pre-screening on 8/16/07 here in Orlando. It was fast paced, action packed and thrilling. The ending was a tearjerker and that was after a whole swith in the plot. What a movie! You must see it ... I highly recommend.

A very touching movie that deals with the inner dialougue of boxers and the intimate relationships they keep with each other with mutual respect for their opponents. A young journalist seeking his career advancing blockbuster story is taken by a man who claims who he is not, with the young mans best wishes at heart he places him in a compromising position with his family and friends after the article is published. A good film to see once as the message is director makes the message clear enough not to need to view the film again. The overall message of the film is: be careful who trust and research everything. Never jump the gun just because it looks like it will make you hero, in Resurrecting The Champ, the gun was shooting blanks for the young oblivious journalist. Overall an excellent performance by the lead and supporting actors, worth watching 100%.

I find it very upsetting that just one week after opening that many theatres in my area are either pulling this movie or are only showing it once per day at some very off time. What gives? This is a very good movie for adults to see. Great acting skills and a good story where you will pay attention all the way through. I guess it's all a big game of $$$ and payoffs. Something is sure wrong. When theatres run total trash and pull the good movies maybe it's time to just stay home. GRRRRR

Excellent. Very well done. A powerful story about truth and about life. Worth the time; it will move you.
