When Is The Black Man Finally Gonna Get A Fair Shake In The Fight Game?

So asks Jerry Ferro, played by Adam Carolla in the best movie you didn’t see in 2008: The Hammer.

Each year, one excellent, low-budget film doesn't get its due. I blogged about 2007’s The T.V. Set. This year, Adam Carolla wrote and starred in a gem.

Adam plays a former boxer turned down-and-out construction worker who decides at age 40 to get back into the fight game. The movie is funny, touching and romantic. An underrated sports flick reminiscent of Breaking Away.

It’s out on DVD. Rent it and let me know.
