Missed Opportunity

Rating: 5/10 (20 June 2016)

All the incredible acting was undone by sloppy-to-non-existent editing. I had to open the Wikipedia entry on Muhammad Ali to figure out who was who, where they were, and why people were saying what they were saying.
Will Smith's and John Voight's excellent performances were wasted. The movie would have been greatly aided by displaying the names of towns and characters. It seemed like every time a new character was shown on screen, they were never introduced by exposition.
The movie jumped around locations a lot, and the dialogue was confusing at times, unless you already knew the life story of Ali.
Michael Mann can do better, but he seemed more interested in crafting the individual scenes instead of focusing on a coherent narrative. Thus, the movie was long, boring, and confusing.
It was heartbreaking, I wanted to like this movie, but the editing ruined it.
