A Pleasure to Watch

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2004)

Ali was a sistamatic and ripping film about a boxing legend, Muhammad Ali, Cassius Clay. Michael Mann(Collateral) makes a realistic portrayal of what it was like for a legend in boxing and outside of it. Ali was so much of a bragger and I guess it was really neatly picked out for Will Smith. Jamie Foxx, well talented and well liked, mainly by me, put up a good performance also as Ali's former friend and helper in the ring. He just did really good and didn't mess up much in his role for his lines. This was a good movie and really realistic in boxing, tied with Raging Bull. There were some flaws and boring parts, but other than that I liked this movie.
Hedeen's outlook: 7.5/10 *** B-
