In 1964, a brash new pro boxer, fresh from his Olympic gold medal victory, explodes on to the scene, Cassius Clay. Bold and outspoken, he cuts an entirely new image for African Americans in sport with his proud public self confidence with his unapologetic belief that he is the greatest boxer of all time. To his credit, he sets out to prove that with his highly agile and forceful style soon making him a formidable boxer who soon claims the heavyweight championship. His personal life is no less noteworthy with his allegiance to the Nation of Islam, his friendship with the controversial Malcolm X and his abandonment of his slave name in favor of Muhammad Ali stirring up controversy. Yet, at the top of his game, both Ali's personal and professional lives face the ultimate test with the military draft rules are changed, making him eligible for military induction during the Vietnam War. Despite the fact that he could easily agree to a sweetheart deal that would have meant an easy tour of duty for himself, Ali refuses to submit on principle to cooperate in an unjust war for a racist nation that treated his people so poorly. The cost of that stand is high as he finds himself unable to legally box in his own country while his case is contested in court. What follows is a battle for a man who would sacrifice so much for what he believes in and a comeback that would cement his legend as one of the great sports figures of all time.
Leave your thoughts about Ali.
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatt EasterbrookALI is an impressive documentation of a man and an era. |
| Turner Classic Movies OnlineSean AxmakerYou can almost see him thinking his way through his fights... |
| ObserverRex ReedIt is well-intentioned, sketchy, sprawling and unremarkable. At two hours and 38 minutes, it is also long-winded and exhausting. |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonA 154-minute film that is both too much and not enough -- too much boxing, too many hours to sit, and too few connections. |
| NetflixJames RocchiMichael Mann reminds us why Muhammad Ali was the greatest -- inside and outside the ring -- in 2001's best film. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversAli is a bruiser, unwieldy in length and ambition. But Mann and Smith deliver this powerhouse with the urgency of a champ's left hook. |
| Film Written MagazineShay CaseyThe problem is that none of these very well-directed scenes manage to fit together into any kind of collective whole. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeEven though Smith is nothing at all like Ali in either looks or temperament, the young actor has obsessively willed himself to become Muhammad Ali. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowIt's one of the most ambitious biographical films ever made in this country, and one of the most unusual, moving and exciting. |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereA movie that, at its best, is as brashly eloquent in cinematic expression as Ali was with his fists. |
