About this product

Product Information

In RESURRECTING THE CHAMP, Samuel L. Jackson sheds the cooler-than-thou persona he's perfected in films such as PULP FICTION. But even previous turns as the downtrodden characters in CHANGING LANES and BLACK SNAKE MOAN are nothing compared to the role of Champ in this film from director Rod Lurie (THE LAST CASTLE). Jackson transforms into a homeless man, completely changing his voice and carriage to reflect someone who has lived on the street for years. When the audience first meets Champ, he is being attacked by a group of 20-something men. A sports journalist named Erik Kernan (Josh Hartnett, THE BLACK DAHLIA) happens upon the scene and rescues Champ from a brutal beating. But it's Erik who needs rescuing as well: his job at the Denver Times is in jeopardy as a result of his pedestrian prose, and his marriage to a fellow journalist (Kathryn Morris, COLD CASE) is on equally shaky ground. In finding Champ, he's found his story. Champ isn't an average man living on the street. Instead, he boasts of being famed boxer Battling Bob Satterfield, and he hands Erik a Pulitzer-worthy story of a life gone wrong. Based on a true story, RESURRECTING THE CHAMP is less a typical sports movie than it is an engaging drama. There's enough boxing history and action to satisfy sports fans: Satterfield is said to have battled big names such as Jake La Motta of RAGING BULL fame, and bouts are fought and won throughout the film. But it's Erik's internal conflict that makes this an interesting film. He is a man forever caught in the shadow of his father, a famed sports broadcaster he never really knew, as he tries to raise his own son.

  • This movie deserves more attention

    For those of you use to films by Rod Lurie, this movie will take you by surprise; in a very good way. I much enjoy Rod's films, and I did this one as well, but not for the reasons that I normally do. I have grown accustomed to his sharp whit and snappy screenplays as well as the fluidity of the cinematography. Resurrecting the Champ delivers all that, but in so many ways it was better than the Lurie movies I have learned to love. I think it is because Rod puts his heart into this film. In the technical sense, the film is well directed and edited. The cast is spectacular with solid performances by all; including Alan Alda and Samuel L. Jackson. The characters are very believable and no one actor overshadows another. The film has balance. The movie is well paced and does not confuse the ...

  • Could of been a blockbuster hit if not for,

    Me and the misses were longing to watch this movie as soon as we saw the preview months ago. Now that we have seen it I wish we had never saw or heard about it and got our hopes up. The movie starts showing lots of potential promise and follows a heartfelt storyline. But things started getting a little shaky right after the middle or so of the movie. WE stuck through it hoping and sure that maybe it would pull itself back together and surprise us with an awesome ending. We have never been so wrong. The ending will leave a sour taste in your mouth and an empty feeling in your stomach. To us it's such a waste of unbelievably talented actors and a descent script that had the potential for an Emmy award if it was rewritten an directed differently. Our opinion is to honestly not even waste your ...

  • Good movie but froze in one spot then skipped in one other spot of DVD.

    in one spot it froze and one spot skipped. It is a good movie beyond that.

  • Resurrecting the Champ

    this movie was criminally overlooked.....Samuel L Jacksons' performance was absolutely amazing !....Oscar worth in my opinion....this was not the typical over the top delivery most are accustomed to seeing....a very complex and immense character.... .......the rest of the cast was outstanding as well....simply a very well acted movie...all performances were very believable...the type of movie that absorbs and enthralls you for its entirety....... ........can't say enough positive things about it
