Movie Haiku:Words & images all resonate in this stirring (if choppy) examination of 10 years in the life of the beloved boxer. Ali (Smith) displays complete conviction here, demanding the world’s respect for his acts, beliefs & chosen name. Van Peebles is also powerful in the critical role of Malcolm X.
