MOVIE REVIEW : " POOR BOYS GAME "
By: Jim Amato
This 2008 boxing movie is what I call a " sleeper ". The cast is headed by veteran actor Danny Glover who plays George Carvery. George is a former trainer whose son is beaten up outside the ring and left permanently disabled. The young man accused of this crime is Donnie Rose ( played by Rossif Sutherland ). Rose served nine years in prison for the crime but upon being released he is challenged to a boxing match by prospect Ossie Paris ( played by Flex Alexander ) , a friend of the Carvery family. This is the perfect revenge setting George and his distraught wife but the plot takes some interesting twists and turns.
As usual Glover gives an A-1 performance and the supporting cast, although not well known pull their weight. Although far from being a classic, I liked it. It is well worth a look.
