Saltzman Sees...Secondhand Lions (2003)

Robert Duvall and Michael Caine star with young Haley Joel Osment in a coming-of-age story about a shy, young boy sent by his irresponsible mother to spend the summer with his wealthy, eccentric uncles in Texas. Duvall and Caine are as good as always, and Haley Joel Osment does a very good job keeping up the legendary actors.  It is a beautiful story that brings a smile to your face because of it's very Hollywood style ending.  It might even make you shed a tear.

It only grossed $41 million, despite costing $30 million to produce. It didn't win a single award despite the excellent acting and wonderful story.

It is my choice for Most Underrated Movie of 2003

Saltzman Sees...John Q (2002)

John Q is the story of a down-on-his luck father, whose insurance won't cover his son's heart transplant, takes the hospital's emergency room hostage until the doctors agree to perform the operation. This movie is as much about serious problems with HMO's in America as it is a story of a father's fight for his son's survival.  Robert Duvall, James Woods, Anne Heche and Ray Liotta all bring their talent to the film, and Kimberly Elise is brilliant as Denzel's wife.

Denzel Washington might be the best actor in film today, and yet when John Q came out, The Academy ignored it.  Denzel won an Oscar for Training Day, but just like Tom Hanks won back to back awards for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, he should have been considered for another Oscar.  John Q is Denzel's strongest performance as an actor.

This is a movie with a real message about the problems with health care in this country and includes a masterful performance by today's greatest actor.  It is certainly the Most Underrated Movie of 2002.

Saltzman Sees...Price of Glory (2000)

Price of Glory is the story of an ex-boxer, living with the knowledge that his fight career was cut short, channels his bitter disappointment in a single-minded quest for boxing championships for his three sons. Jimmy Smits plays Arturo Ortega who's stubbornness is only equaled by his love for his family.  It is a story of passion, heartbreak, redemption and ultimately glory.

It only grossed $3.5 million and it only won 1 ALMA Award for director Carlos Avila.

It is the Most Underrated Movie of 2000.
