User Review - 10/10 by Bruce WA great piece of story-telling, and far less glamorising than Facing Ali or When We Were Kings. From Ali's links with the KKK and Frazier's gloating over Ali's illness - no punches pulled
User Review - 10/10 by Derrick BHighly recommended with one stipulation: Everyone should watch "When We Were Kings" before seeing this film. After that documentary's convincing portrayal of Ail as a hero and legend of our time, the contrast of "Thrilla in Manila" will make for a cinematic experience greater than the sum of these two incredible films.
User Review - 10/10 by Eduardo CTells the INCREDIBLE story of the most brutal fight of modern times. But don't let that stop you from seeing this important film. It had me crying; it thoroughly intrigued and amazed me. Few people know the true story of Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali . You think you do but you don't. CHECK THIS OUT !
User Review - 10/10 by Mike AGreat Documentary. 2 great, 2 greatest fighters.
User Review - 8/10 by Peter PGood boxing doc. with awesome footage and great interviews, sadly none from Ali's side about the fallout from of the fight, but Joe Frazier is very honest and candid and you can't help but feel for him and how he finished up in the end.
User Review - 8/10 by Ian LMuhammad Ali did kinda get his in the end ...
User Review - 6/10 by Partridge IA hatchet job on Ali, but it was interesting to see Frazier's take on it.
