This small independent production shot on some of the meanest streets of Los
Angeles is definitely worth a look. Thomas Haden Church produced and starred
in this film about life as a homeless person and some people who look to exploit
them.
Church plays a homeless man without hope or any kind of drive to rise above the place fate has put him. He's ripe for a rich punk like Rhys Whitfield who pays $50.00 to a pair of homeless to fight it out like gladiators in ancient Rome. Church starts building a reputation in underground circles. He's the Cardboard Boxer.
Church does a fine job as a man just looking for a bit of self worth. Not unlike Spartacus and in the end things happen in a Spartacus like way. And Whitfield is truly a punk's punk.
This one is a real sleeper, don't miss it.
