Review of Facing Ali (2009) by Justin B — 07 Jan 2010
Simply put: Facing Ali is a really good documentary. This director gives a fresh take on sports documentaries by interviewing legendary fighers such Larry Holmes, Ken Norton, George Foreman and of course, the mighty Joe Frazier. The twist is that each fighter would desribe their mental process while facing Ali, as well as, the effect the fight had on their career and legacy. Truly worth watching if you are a boxing fan.
Other fighers include: George Chuvalo, Ernie Terrell, Sir Henry Cooper, Ron Lyle, Earnie Shavers and Leon Spinks. I can only hope that this director continues to do these type of films with other fighters such as Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones and other intimidating fighters. I would personally love a Facing Jordan, but we can all dream can't we?
Overall solid film, especially since nowadays you can rent a new movie for under a buck!
