"Ali" DVD
This biopic about boxing great Muhammad Ali features fine performances
by Will Smith in the title role and Jon Voight as sportscaster Howard
Cosell. The film covers Ali's life from when he first won the world
heavyweight championship by defeating Sonny Liston in 1964 through
his 1974 bout with George Foreman dubbed "The Rumble in the Jungle."
Will Smith does a splendid job of capturing Ali's celebrated public
persona, and the film lovingly recreates some of Ali's famous fights.
Although it's a good movie, not a great one, "Ali" is well
worth watching and offers a glimpse into the fascinating life of a
boxing legend. |
