Movie Reviews of Rebound: The Legend of Earl "The Goat" Manigault
Movie Review: Is Don Cheadle in this movie? YES! He STARS!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first big film role for the great Don Cheadle, whose name is buried in the official promo material for "Rebound." He was an unknown at the time, so Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who has no real role, gets top feature. What the--?!
For me, Cheadle is the film. Excellent script, supporting actors, direction...but it's Cheadle's movie as a Harlem playground basketball genius. And he shows why he became an actor of distinction.
It helps a lot that Cheadle can play. At least, it sure looks like it. The story is tragic, but this movie just loves basketball. The court scenes are terrific. On the playground, in organized games.
As a boy, Manigault had the idea of practicing with ankle weights to strengthen his legs. He is finally allowed into a pickup game of older players. "Yeah, allright, you take him." Every ball kid's dream.
There is another where he takes a bet on how high he can jump. Memorable.
"Rebound" celebrates the game and one of the gifted men who played it and loved it. In all respects it's right up there with "Hoosiers."
