Review of Fat City (1972) by Carey L — 21 Jun 2009
A really good and gritty drama that must contain the performance of stacy keach's career. he plays a washed up fighter pushing 30 who meets young jeff bridges on his way up. and just who the hell is susan tyrell? I wanted to slap her in every scene.
outstanding performance. it's a downer but a beautifully done and pretty much forgotten huston film from the 70's which was something of a comeback film for him. huston was a fighter in his younger days and so was the scriptwriter who adapted his own novel.
they knew enough to get the details right. I loved the scenes where the trainers go on about the injuries they've seen.
