I loved it because it was about one of the Greatest Heavyweights Ever in Charles "Sonny" Liston. No, it's not "Casablanca" but it is time well spent for former fighters like myself and boxing fans. We love just about anything on The Bad Man and the movie is very stylishly shot with a sleek music score backing it. I have been to Liston's grave in Vegas and "Night Train" played in my head the entire time I was there. No monument, just a weathered headstone that you have to ask the folks inside how to find as it is difficult to locate. Watch this with an open mind and enjoy it, sports fans. While it may not be 100 percent accurate - it is fun for fans of The Big Bear. Troy Ross is a real fighter who plays Floyd Patterson but the guy that plays Ali is not. He is the only downside to this movie that I found as they should have gotten a real boxer to play him. Ving is not as big nor nearly as massive as Sonny was but then again, few men have been. One of the Great Hitters and most Mysterious Men in Boxing history.
