Diggstown is a small town built on the name of one Charles Macum Diggs, famous boxer now fallen on hard times.
James Woods plays the consumate conman who sets up a boxing sting involving Louis Gosset Jr as the boxer, and Oliver Platt as their accomplice. However, the good news is that now everyone can enjoy what is essentially a boys film, but truly one of the great underrated films of all time.are a potent one-two punch as a pair of mismatched partners in for the scam of their lives in a movie that's hard to resist. It does serve to provide motivation for the characters, but then the light-heartedness begins to creep back in, and the dénouement seems out of place given the occurrences 30 minutes prior. In the romantic comedy 'Bull Durham' (1988), seasoned baseball player (Kevin Costner) is assigned to coach a hot-shot newcomer (Tim Robbins).
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This movie will have you gripped from the beginning as it starts with a prison fight and develops into Gabriel (James woods), pulling of a huge con with the help of Lou Gossett Junior. Raging Bull is of course a masterpiece so there is no touching that, but if you are in the mood for a good comedy and just a flat out good movie I recommend it.It is a classic con, just like in many such films that have come before, and like them all, it depends on the mark being a thoroughly detestable chap to work. As his manager, Gillon drugged Diggs during a fight so that Gillon could collect on the opponent's long odds.
Yes he is over the top blah blah blah but he takes risk and among his many bad films there are many good ones.Whether from ill judged performances or miscasting is uncertain, but here he is perfectly cast as Gabriel Caine, a slick, fast talking hustler.
Great Deal
