Resurrecting The Champ isn't your typical boxing movies like Rocky, Cinderella Man nor Million Dollar Baby. It is more of a personal story without a fight in the ring but rather a fight on personality, confidence and success. One of the best part of this movie is Samuel L. Jackson's role as "The Champ." When we think of Samuel, first thing that pops in our head are, The eternal all time badass mother****er, a man built with guts made of steel and endless slang of swear words with comedy naturally in them. In this movie however we see a completely different side of Samuel L. Jackson, a side which could bring a tear in the eye, a side that proves he is just more than a movie badass, a side of him actually acting instead of him being himself. This is a side of Sam Jackson we rarely see and a side we must treasure and remember. Sam Jackson makes 70% - 80% of this movie magnificent. The rest of the actors/actresses did very well too working with the plot based on a true story with fantastic emotional connection with the audience in all ways. This movie deserves a Nine perhaps if they only focused more on details of situations and problems but an Eight still gives this superb movie a high ranking which is also Samuel L. Jackson's best performance YET!
