Movie Reviews of Don King - Only in America
Movie Review: Good Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was very realistic as it had a real story line. The only part I did not like was the way it was presented as a commentator and then excerpts. I would have rather have seen a movie without the Don King commentator. Also, the title, Only in America, does not fit this movie at all.
Summary of Don King - Only in America
FROM RUNNING NUMBERS TO 'THE RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE', FROM ALI TO TYSON, DON KING WOULDN'T ALWAYS FIGHT CLEAN, HE WOULDN'T ALWAYS FIGHT FAIR, BUT HE WOULD ALWAYS FIGHT TO WIN.Made for HBO, this film biography of boxing promoter Don King is solid entertainment, thanks to a startlingly real performance at its core by Ving Rhames (who won a Golden Globe award for the role, then gave it away to Jack Lemmon on the TV broadcast). Rhames has the shuck-and-jive, but also the canny intelligence, as the film follows King from small-time numbers runner and concert promoter to ex-con to self-created fight mogul. The movie, based on a book by Jack Newfield, doesn't pull punches in outlining King's extralegal shenanigans and strong-arm tactics, bracketed by a device of having King address the audience from a boxing ring as he introduces episodes from his life. That could have gotten old, but not with the foxy, insinuating Rhames doing the talking. --Marshall Fine
