I thought of HOMEBOY all thru this film, the tale of an aging boxer, his downfall, his struggle to survive, keep his pride and.dignity. It is painful, poignant, disturbing but so great. Yes, Mickey rourke would have been great in such a film, but the German actor is excellent, Oscar winner worth performance. This in the line of FAT CITY or REQUIEM FOR A HEAVY WEIGHT. There is also a Ken Loach touch. But this poor guy is lucky enough to have a gorgeous girl friend, that compensates much, doesn't it? The only bright touch in this gloomy drama.
