[Brian in Mesa]

Diggstown

Tagline: Where the pros meet the cons.

Cast: James Woods, Louis Gossett Jr., Bruce Dern, Oliver Platt, Heather Graham, Randall 'Tex' Cobb, Thomas Wilson Brown, James Caviezel, etc.

Plot Summary: Gabriel Caine has just been released from prison when he sets up a bet with a business man. The business man owns most of a boxing-mad town called Diggstown. The bet is that Gabe can find a boxer that will knock out 10 Diggstown men, in a boxing ring, within 24 hours. "Honey" Roy Palmer is that man - although at 48, many say he is too old.

Another con movie, this time involving boxing. Just love some of the twists in this one. Fun movie with a decent cast.

Yes! I love this movie.

I always tell my wife that James Woods is a great actor. She always asks what movie he's ever been in and I reply Diggstown Baby!

I actually have a little place in my heart for this movie (it was one of the first laserdiscs I ever bought back in the day). Heather Graham looked 12 years old in this movie though.
