WOW. There wasn't a lot of hype or publicity behind this movie, but it was very surprising. It is about a former pro boxer living on the streets, and is then re-discovered by a desperate sports writer, starving for a good story. Samuel L. Jackson brings an Oscar worthy performance, in what I believe to be his best role to date.
If you plan on watching this movie, do NOT read up on anything about it, as most reviews give away the twist.
