When I started watching this movie I was not sure about what to expect, Samuel Jackson and Josh Hartnett had a great screen presence and portrayed their characters very well. Dakota Goyo is an adorable child actor and was great to watch.
A must see!
Rating:  -
Great acting from Josh Hartnett and Samuel Jackson! The story is good but the twist is disheartening! It is worth a watch. There is language so it isn't for all ages.

A solid morality play with a jaw-dropper of a twist ending, RESURRECTING THE CHAMP scores a knockout with great acting and a thought-provoking message.
Samuel L. Jackson turns in a brilliant performance as a washed-up boxer who now calls the streets and back alleys of Denver his home. Josh Harnett also shows subtle acting chops as the young reporter determined to tell the Champ's story. Alan Alda, too, is utterly convincing as the tough but kind newspaper editor who pushes his young writers to greatness.
The film shows a wonderful understanding of newsroom dynamics, and how writers and editors conspire to reel in a great story on deadline.
The movie's only weak point comes in the form of some heavy-handed moralizing that would have been better left to the viewers' own conclusions.
However - with its truly shocking conclusion and an excellent ensemble cast, RESURRECTING THE CHAMP is a film no viewer will soon forget.

Never mind what you think of boxing pictures, sports pictures, or Josh Hartnett. Resurrecting the Champ concerns weighty matters of journalistic ethics, workplace ethics, how fathers raise their sons, the lives of the homeless, the steps people must take to achieve maturity, and most importantly, how we create myths about ourselves, especially with the help of the media. Along the way, it's about how history grinds up celebrities/heroes/public figures. (Is Samuel L. brilliant? You bet, but this reviewer's favorite scene just might be the one with Harry Lennix.)

Although Samuel L. Jackson long ago established himself as a great talent, he demonstrates his true range as an actor in "Resurrecting the Champ". His touching and often humorous portrayal of a "down and almost out" former prizefighter is probably his finest work ever. Hartnett and the remainder of the cast are quite good (it was nice to see Alan Alda), but this is Jackson's show all the way. I would highly recommend this one for repeat viewing.
