    Diggstown (also known as Midnight Sting) sees con men James Woods and Oliver Platt, along with the help of aging but willful boxer Louis Gossett Jr., go up against nasty fight fixer Bruce Dern in the small southern town he basically owns. The scam has to be fairly clever, because Dern's character is a ruthless scammer too, and there's a point where I thought they might have lost the plot and thought they were doing a straight sports movie. I'm not sure if they missed a trick, or tricked me into believing they had - I was looking at the wrong hand, so to speak. But the set-up definitely has enough variables to keep the tension up. Con game movies can sometimes be too clever for their own good. Cool and intellectual, but lacking in emotion. Not the case here. But do watch out for that TV-movie quality wailing guitar soundtrack. 6 years 3 months ago
