Fighting Tommy Riley

Check out the movie Fighting Tommy Riley. This trailer makes it seem like this is just another boxing movie; it's not. There is so much more to it. Newcomer (at the time) J.P. Davis (who also wrote the story) joins Eddie Jones in this fantastic film about the troubled lives we all lead and how redemption can come from the most unlikely places.

I randomly stumbled upon this film years ago once at a movie rental place in the rural Midwest, and much to my surprise fell in love with it, despite the fact I don't really care for boxing. To be honest, I probably picked it out because of Davis' hot bod on the DVD cover.

It's a shame J.P. Davis' career didn't take off more after this film; perhaps it will one of these days.

Cheers!
