Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist

Without a doubt, this is one of the best series I've seen in years. The cast is exceptional, and the writing is top-notch. While Kevin Hart shines in his role, it's the supporting cast that truly keeps the show afloat. Samuel delivers at his absolute best, Don Cheadle is fantastic, and Taraji steals the spotlight at times. What makes this series special, though, is the seamless chemistry among all the actors. With great suspense and compelling storytelling, it's a definite hit. The pacing is perfect, and the performances are outstanding. This is truly great television. I have to admit, I was initially skeptical, but I couldn't have been more wrong-I was completely hooked from start to finish. Bravo!"

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: The Million Dollar Heist is a thrilling ride from the very start. It brings together one of the most talented ensemble casts of any show this year. It has a bunch of A-List movie stars at their best that includes Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Kevin Hart, Tarija P. Henson, Terrence Howard, among others. It's impossible for a show to be bad with a cast like that, at the very least you're going to get good acting performances. There are also plenty of other great performances from lesser known actors which makes this show so good. But this is more than just the acting...the writing, production, directing, etc are all great. The terrific script gives all these stars a chance to do what they do best and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these actors get nominated for their performances come award season.

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.
