| | | Diggstown delivers a Knockout! | |
James Woods plays an outstanding professional con man opposite a sinister and intelligent Bruce Dern. Dern is so elegantly evil in a wise southern gentleman way and provides a master class in "evil leader". Oliver Platt does an outstanding job in the opening bar scene, where the mammoth con begins, and is very humourous througout. And Gossett plays his usual calm common man tough guy that has made him a staple in cinema for years.
The ending is breathtaking!
Cinemaphiles will love how the story is told. Boxing and MMA fans will love the fights. If you've seen it once, you need to see it again. If you haven't seen it, get it now. The movie delivers! February 10, 2008
 | | "Rockford Files" Meets "Dukes of Hazzard" | |
Although its genre is "comedy", you will be hard pressed to find many laughs in "Diggstown" (1992). The fights scenes won't make you forget "Raging Bull" but they are nicely staged and relatively entertaining.
The film is really just a long episode of "The Rockford Files", without James Garner. Rockford regulars James Woods and Louis Gossett Jr. have the two biggest parts as they run a Rockford- style con on Bruce Dern-who plays a slim version of Boss Hogg.
Woods bets Dern that his aging fighter (Gossett) can defeat ten opponents in 24 hours. Heather Graham fans should not expect much, she looks great but her part is very small and seems tacked onto the story as an excuse to get her name associated with the film. Oliver Platt ("Ready to Rumble") and Gossett give the strongest performances.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child. October 9, 2007
