![]() Not a single relationship really resonates with the audience. However, as you watch this three hour film, you never once really feel a part of this world, and the answers we get are ones we could figure out ourselves. In this case: Why did he dodge the draft? Why did he go through so many wives? What was his relationship with Malcolm X really like? On the surface, Mann answers those questions. What we expect from the biopic of a well-known persona such as Ali is a view into the person's inner life—what we don't know. It is a film not sure of what it wants to be, and the same goes for the soundtrack which, though eclectic, has no unity or direction. Much of the buzz anticipated sizzle form Mann and fizzle from Smith, but the film delivers the opposite, with Smith's charismatic Muhammad Ali wandering through a cold, emotionally barren cinematic landscape created by Mann. Ali, the highly anticipated biopic directed by Michael Mann and starring Will Smith, is a film filled with odd choices, including in the soundtrack itself. ![]()
