Review of Somebody Up There Likes Me (2013) by Senor C — 16 Jan 2011
I was really expecting the worse when the opening credits rolled & Perry Como started crooning out the title track. Just fucking terrible that it tortures you w/ it once again @ the end. Everything else is magnificent putting Somebody Up There Likes Me w/ some of the greatest b/w boxing movies like Raging Bull & The Harder They Fall.
Originally intended for James Dean before his untimely death this is perfect fit for Paul Newman who does this bio-pic justice. It also has the added bonus of Sal Mineo in the cast & a brief cameo by Steve McQueen as a hooligan in a roof top rumble.
His very presence made me smile & I wish he was in it more then the few seconds that he was.
