A compelling story about Ali as a master troll (i.e. an antagoniser) and the very embodiment of the adage 'if you talk the talk then you gotta walk the walk'. But if you expect this film to make apparent why such a cruel person, both outside and inside the ring, was almost universally loved then you will be disappointed; Ali was not a tragically flawed figure. Perhaps if he'd listened more to Malcolm X and less to Elijah/Warith Mohamed it would have been for the better.
