Very surprised to have found this movie through social media, as I had no idea it was even in theaters. It was a great movie. Yes, it was fast paced as it went through his entire life from childhood to the end of his boxing career, but I was glad for that. I enjoyed seeing his story of how he not only overcame being the underdog, but he learned lessons and went on to be a great fighter. I saw some reviewers pointing out that the religious aspect made the film less enjoyable, but I really have to disagree , and that is coming from someone who is completely unreligious. I did not feel like I was being preached to. It simply showed a part of his life where he decided to become a preacher. And being a preacher had an impact on his life, we can't skip that part just because you don't like religion. I think my only gripe is I would have loved to see more interaction between him and Ali, since it is known that they became good friends. I would have loved to see their friendship, plus the Ali actor was very good at his role, so he was definitely enjoyable to watch!
