Ali (2001)

Compelling film which accurately follows the life of commonly know African American boxer Muhammad Ali. This film is directed magnificently adding actually footage from the events; the story line also includes surrounding factors at the time like Malcolm X, MLK and also the Second World War. At times, the film drags on taking away the excitement from certain events. The film casts well known actor Will Smith although my first thought was that he'd be perfect for the role however I was surprised with his level of poor acting in the film. Overall it was a film that I enjoyed watching due to the historical factors and would recommend it.
