Review of Resurrecting the Champ (2007) by Pablo J — 03 Oct 2007

Trodde att den skulle vara bÃ¤ttre. Den gick ju att se men trodde att det skulle vara en typ Rocky historia dÃ¤r de hittar luffaren, trÃ¤nar upp han o gÃ¶r han till champ igen. Men det ska tydligen vara en sann historia.

Samuel L Jackson spelar skitbra som vanligt.
