This is one of the rare movies that I can watch over and over. Great story, and Bruce Dern is classic as the "owner" of Diggstown.

I'm a guy, I like boxing movies. This just happens to be my favorite boxing movie. Louis Gossett Jr. is convincing as a retired old boxer that has still 'got it'. Ja...

This movie was awesome and had great actors (James Woods, Louis Gossett Jr, Oliver Platt). The ending was one of the best endings I have ever seen in a movie.
