Fight Night

Why is he in literally everything lately, the guy has zero acting ability, he just acts like himself in every film, and he comes across just how many people in hollywood have said, completely arrogant, for no reason.

Meanwhile the rest of the cast are amazing actors... I'd love to see someone like. Jamie Fox, this show would easily be a 10...

With Hart's lack of acting, and likeability, I can't give it above a 7. I really tried to look past his acting, but it's so bad, i just kept hoping for other actors to have more screen time..

The set, wardrobe, hair, cars, even the houses, etc all look amazing. As well as the cinematography.

However put this together, besides Hart, clearly is a real craftsman. Hopefully see more similar projects, but maybe with a few key changes Hart also was terrible in Borderlands recently as well. I mean if you took the character he portrayed in that sci-fi film and compared to his character in this tv show, and you have exactly, and I mean exactly the same character...

Kevin Hart's 'Fight Night...' is a promising addition to the black film landscape, showcasing a talented ensemble cast and a captivating storyline. I told ya'll the Philly boy has acting chops! I may have been critical of his last few stand-up specials, but I Kevin can act indeed.

With Hart Beat Productions teamed up with Will Packer Productions again, I hope to continue to see films with strong scripts, strong actors and quality production value that showcases the black experience in its many different facets. We deserve better than we get from Tyler P's revolving battered woman syndrome and low budget Tubi productions.

The stereotypical portrayal of Clifton Powell's 'Mush Mouth' and a few other mob boss characters like Boone, Tex, and Bunker feel overly caricatured. Look, I get that it is an ode to the blaxploitation era, and I'm a huge fan of period pieces, but the only believable figures of the interstate bosses are David Banner, Terrance Howard and of course, Sam Jackson. They can feel out of place in an otherwise well-crafted film.

Anyway, I'm wondering how Kevin got all these heavy hitters in one project, like Don Cheadle, Tarija P. Henson, Terrance and Sam? Not to mention he put together a talented cast of heist bandits who are all rising stars in their own right. Overall, I'm loving this mini-series, and I hope it's just the beginning of many more strong stories to come from Hart Beat Productions; especially in a time when Hollywood seems all too interested in remakes than original stories. You did that Kevin!

First off, wow-what an amazing cast! The sheer amount of talent in the actors and actresses involved made this even more difficult to critique. With such a talented ensemble, I expected nothing less than perfection, which is why it was disappointing to see such a glaring oversight in the script. The dialogue just doesn't match the time period the mini-series was aiming for. At any point, did anyone stop and say, "Hey, somethings off and this doesn't feel right?" This inconsistency in language made it difficult to fully immerse myself in what should have been a home-run.

For me, the biggest draw to period pieces is the way they transport you back in time-not just visually, but through how characters speak, think, and interact with the world around them. This mini-series missed the mark in that aspect, which was unfortunate. That said, it's still entertaining in its own right, with strong performances and high production values.

Pretty good script, gripping story, all star cast, my biggest gripe is ALI!! This has to be the worst casting choice by far. This is really where it dropped the ball. The guy looks nothing like Ali, I could forgive it if he at least embodied him in cadence, or tone, he didn't. They should have looked for a better option. Don Cheadle , Samuel Jackson, Terrance Howard, Kevin Hart, all kill it. All in all very enjoyable and worth a watch, but reallly. Absolute worst Ali of all time, and he has been played by a lot of different people. You wonder if the casting director was too young to know or care about Ali.

Fight Night is a true story about a huge armed robbery at a star studded after party following Muhammad Ali beating Jerry Quarry in a boxing match that was Ali's first match after the whole draft dodging incident. It has All-Star cast who are all at the top of their game here and all given enough screen time to shine. The show currently has a well deserved 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. The entire cast is great but I have to point out two performances specifically. Samuel L. Jackson has had so many great and memorable roles over his hall of fame career and this is one of his better ones. He is fantastic in every scene. The other is Kevin Hart. Hart usually plays the same funny character in most of his movies but he brings a total different performance here and absolutely kills it. Then there's Don Cheadle, Terrence Howard and Tarija P. Henson who are all as good as ever.
