Story Gregory Allen Howard
Jamie Foxx, Jon Voight, Mario Van Peebles, Mykelti Williamson, Ron Silver, Will Smith - Director: Michael Mann Superstar Will Smith gives the performance of his career as boxing legend Muhammad Ali in a visually amazing epic drama from Academy Award-nominated director Michael Mann. Muhammad Ali thrills the world with his ground-breaking boxing victories in the '60s and '70s. But the man behind the legend is grappling with a tumultuous romantic life, his deeply held religious beliefs and the pressures of staying on top. A quick-witted, winning personality and strong friendships with close associates including renowned newscaster Howard Cosell (Golden Globe nominee Jon Voight) h

Michael Mann's ALI manages to be an informative look at the career of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali and an entertaining and moving portrait of the man. The action begins with the brash young Cassius Clay's surprising victory over Sonny Liston. The film depicts Clay's conversion to Islam, his partnership with "Bundini" Brown (Jamie Foxx in a wonderfully complex turn), his friendship with Howard Cosell (a transformed Jon Voight), his principled refusal to serve in the military during Vietnam, and his subsequent problems with the law and the boxing commission. The film concludes with Ali's battle with George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle." Will Smith delivers a worthy performance, transforming his body, face, and voice to capture the spirit of the charismatic fighter. The work of the supporting cast is superb, including Smith's real-life wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Marvin Gaye's daughter, Nona Gaye, as the women in Ali's life. Mann brings the viewer in close to the boxing action, effectively depicting Ali's unique grace and quickness, and the violent frenzy of the sport. The film shows the familiar public figure of fights and press conferences, and also gives a glimpse of the quiet, thoughtful private life of Ali.

Theatrical Release: DECEMBER 25, 2001

Ali Reviews:

"...Smith has nailed the voice, the charm, the body language -- he has, in short, become Ali as much as any actor possibly could..." -- George Kiritopoulos, Total Film

"...Will Smith embodies the public Ali with supreme confidence, bringing the familiar routines to his life without falling back on mere impersonation..." -- John Wrathall, Sight and Sound

"...ALI is a breakthrough for director Michael Mann....His overwhelming love of its subject will turn audiences into exuberant, thrilled fight crowds..." -- Elvis Mitchell, New York Times

"...Dazzling....As Ali, Will Smith undergoes the kind of astonishing self-transformation that makes you blink, then stare..." -- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

"...Smith gives a towering performance, defiantly funny and impassioned....Mann and Smith deliver this powerhouse with the urgency of a champ's left hook..." -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"...[The film] possesses an informed, intelligent perspective..." -- Todd McCarthy, Variety

"...Smith is undeniably excellent in the role, capturing the essence of Ali's character....Other supporting performers are equally convincing..." -- Wade Major, Box Office

2 stars A movie without structure
This movie should've been alot better because it had all the pieces of the puzzle to be a great movie.It had a perfect cast that included Will Smith and Jamie Foxx,but even a solid group of leading men can't overcome a storyline that is full of holes.The story jumps back and forth and it assumes that you already know what is going on.Ali could've no it should've been alot better.

5 stars IN THE RING WITH MICHAEL MANN
KEVIN LUCERO LESS - PROFESSOR OF CINEMA TUCSON MUSEUM OF ART SCHOOL. IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF MICHAEL MANN'S "ALI" THE VIEWER SHOULD NOTICE THAT THIS IS NO ORDINARY FILM MAKER. WITH "MILLION DOLLAR BABY" AND "CINDERELLA MAN" THE BOXING FILM CAN BE SEEN AS SMART AND HISTORICAL, BUT WITH "ALI" IT CAN BE SEEN AS BEAUTIFUL. MISE EN SCENE IS THE CINEMATIC TERM FOR THE COMPOSITION OF THE FRAME. THIS FILM LOOKS SO GOOD THAT MANY MIGHT SAY IT CAN'T BE GOOD, BUT IT IS. MANN'S ATTENTION FOR EVERY DETAIL TAKES YOU THERE AND EVEN GETS A SPOT ON PERFORMANCE FROM MR. SMITH. NOT MANY DIRECTORS CAN TAKE A STORY THIS LARGE AND GIVE IT THE RESPECT IT HOLDS FOR SO MANY SPORTS FANS. SMART, HISTORICAL AND BEAUTIFUL "ALI" EARNS IT'S OSCAR NOMINATIONS KO.
