Not a bad film, but it really wasn't all it was cracked up to be. One thing I wasn't too sure about; Who was it who got shot when Ali was on the phone to his lawyer?
The Muhammad Ali story was done before, in the 1977 flick "The Greatest," with Ali playing himself. Unfortunately, this pic was released the same day as a little sci-fi film called "Star Wars."
I didn't know that. What's really odd is that when I first heard of Ali, I actually thought a good alternative title would've been The Greatest.
The theme to that was also re-done later by Whitney Houston. I don't know who did the original.
