Diggstown | Year: 1992 Directed: - Michael Ritchie Actors/Actresses: - James Woods - Louis Gossett Jr - Bruce Dern One Incredible Ending Diggstown is one of the most satisfying movies of all time. Lou Gossett Jr. and James Woods are at their all time bests. Bruce Dern plays an excellent bad guy, and you truly wind up hating him by the end of the movie. This movie is witty, and the boxing scenes are done incredibly well, loaded with action. Diggstown is ultimately about one person's struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds with a never-give-up attitude. This is captured quite nicely, as you can't help but cheer for Honey Roy Palmer (Gossett Jr.) to beat ten different boxers in a 24-hour period. The film portrays the con game at its best, and keeps you guessing at who will be the supreme con-artist. It has several twists and turns that keeps you on your toes (no pun intended-okay, maybe a slight boxing pun) to the very unpredictable ending. Diggstown is truly a pleasure to watch. A good conman can leave town when he wants. Known as Midnight Sting in The UK, it's taken me ages to track this down on DVD.<BR>Without giving the plot away, the whole film is a non-stop battle of wits between Woods and Dern who are ideally casted for the roles they are playing and allows them to flourih to the best of there ability.<BR>Woods is the epitome of cool whilst showing a human side.<BR>The Boxing scenes are superbly played out, finding the right balance between realism and humour.<BR>Without spoiling the film the ending is one of the best i've ever seen in a film and captures the whole plot in a single moment which will have you cheering to yourself when the final fight is played out.<BR>Without doubt i would recommend this film as a must have, it will keep you captivated even after repeated viewing which is rare for films these days.<BR>A true Classic. This movie's funny ...!!! ... This movie is a gigantic duel of both action and comedy! You'll be rolling on the floor laughing when you're not in awe of all the great acting! The funniest fight was when 'Honey' Roy Palmer was fighting Sammy who got this brown bottle treatment! He kept farting and stinking the place up that he left the ring!
