Cornered: A Life Caught in the Ring
(2008)

Great Story but Uneasy Viewing
Eric Drath recounts a great boxing story but in doing so defiles it. From the Michael Moore school of documentary making, he takes an already exploited, broken man and exploits him some more - always looking for a money shot.

Sending Mr Resto to see his estranged family and then, without prior warning to see the Collins family was beyond crass.

Any documentary maker who needs to put his own face in his film is flawed.

It's a great story and actually does unearth new evidence about the tragedy. It's just a pity that the project was devoid of integrity, empathy and compassion.

Watch Ring of Fire or No Mas instead.
