BOBCAT MORETTI – Review by Marcello Rollando

I’ve only loved three films about boxing:  Sly as Rocky, Russell Crowe’s Cinderella Man and the one so good, I never want to see again:  Million Dollar Baby. And now, for my money, BOBCAT MORETTI directed and produced by Rob Margolies is entering that ring where the big boys and girls of boxing films – “settle their problems,” as no-nonsense “Jo” (played brilliantly by Vivica A. Fox with knock out tough love tells Bobby just before he’s caught cold by her drubbing him with the title role:  BOBCAT MORETTI (amazingly internalized by actor Tim Realbuto – as we witness his transition, without special effects, from Big Bobby to BOBCAT. 

Both Sally Kirkland (Helene Moretti) and Mindy Sterling (Jean) embody remarkable and noteworthy characters deserving to be remembered on and offscreen. 

BOBCAT MORETTI co-written by director Rob Margolies and Rob Margolies, is a sucker punch riddle, wrapped in a gut-wrenching mystery, inside the enigma of lost love, fringe families, and the blood, sweat and tears of forever friendships.

BOBCAT MORETTI is about the invisible people we walk past every day without notice, but if noticed:  only with temporary unwanted pity, demeaning, there but for the grace of whatever we believe saves us from becoming them.

BOBCAT MORETTI isn’t about crime on the streets but surviving crimes of the heart.  It’s not about what we think we know, but discovering our reflection in every life struggling for a comeback from unresolved dramas.

BOBCAT MORETTI is the reality check following the KO!
