a jewel of a movie forgotten

This movie is one of my personal favorites of all time. It nailed the storyline of an inner city youth forced to do things that are not legal or moral but chooses to make lemonade when life hands him lemons. Now days when anybody mentions the title Gladiator, you would immediately think of Russell Crowe fighting in an arena for his freedom. In the early 90's you would think of fighters such as Tommy Riley, or Lincoln. The main character of this movie is a teenage boy by the name of Tommy Riley who has moved from a neighboring city to inner Chicago where he doesn't seem to fit in, but is a very likeable character. When he becomes entangled in an illegal boxing circuit, everybody quickly realizes he is a force to be reckoned with. Befriending such people as another fighter by the name of Lincoln who is played by Cuba Gooding Jr. Tommy soon realizes that there is only one way to get his life back and goes for it. If you have never seen this movie, I recommend picking up a copy and plan a good evening to sit down and watch it, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for taking the time to read another one of my reviews and I hope you get the chance to enjoy this movie.
