Movie Reviews

USA Today - 8/10 by Robert BiancoAll in all, it's a worthy subject to be sure. It just probably isn't the subject you might have expected.
Bloomberg News - 6/10 by Greg EvansA bland Benjamin Walker and a scowling Pablo Schreiber add little depth to their roles as mouthpieces for either side of history.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by David WiegandThe actors make Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight seem better than it is, but the real Ali, with all his youth, vigor, bravado and passion, convinces us that he and his case deserved much better.
User Review - 10/10 by Brandon PI usually hate political movies as they are mostly boring as hell. This however kept me interested throughout, great movie!
User Review - 10/10 by Marilyn ZGreat story of a David who challenged the Goliath of the Supreme Court...both Muhammad through his integrity, tenacity and vision and the supreme court aid who also stood his ground. Great cast, and the historical film footage of Muhammad Ali shows his charisma, wit, his unprecedented seeding of rap and the filming of the fights are impressive quality that is movingly interwoven. A great story to be told, and held in one's heart.
User Review - 10/10 by Kenneth LSuperb documentary. Superb cast. Provides a closer understanding of the Burger court as well as the period in history. Thoroughly entertaining. I will watch this again and again. Highly recommend it.
User Review - 10/10 by Akemi TAs someone who was not familiar with the case this movie was so intriguing and educational. It was also delightful to see the performance by such great actors as well.
User Review - 8/10 by Rob RThe casting is on point and the use of Ali clips was well timed and impressive. I understand Ali's fight much better. I also understand the Supremes better and like Thurgood Marshall even less.
User Review - 8/10 by shai lAn excellent historical docudrama with a stellar cast.
User Review - 8/10 by Pavan RWas an interesting and insightful take on the war episode of Ali's life..not sure of its historical accuracy though . Gave me a good perspective of the Supreme Court thought process on the case. I'd say was well made in spite of the not so great reviews
