One of Samuel L. Jackson's best performances yet


He did an amazing job embodying that role. Frankly if it wasn't for Jules Winnfield, I'd say Champ was the best character he ever played.

Yes, absolutely.
But this only proves that Jackson is a poor actor actually.

He just gets typecast into stereotypical badass roles that don't demand much from him. It's when he branches out like this in such a crazy way that people are reminded that he can actually act.

Samuel L. Jackson and "poor actor doesn't" belong in the same sentence. He's got one Oscar nomination and four other roles he could have been nominated for(Jungle Fever, Django Unchanied, 187, and this movie)!
