BIG GEORGE FOREMAN: THE MIRACULOUS STORY OF THE ONCE AND FUTURE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD

Yes, just like Big George himself, the title reflects the larger-than-life man and his story. A biopic about the former 2-time heavyweight champion of the world and his call to ministry later in life. Khris Davis stars as George and does a wonderful job embodying him. He has the size and physical appearance but also his gentleness as well. Forest Whitaker is the only name most audiences will be firmly with to lend some respectability to the project. Whitaker plays Doc Broadus, a former superior of his in the job corps who is the one who introduces George to the sport, before being his trainer as well. Like any biopic, this film hits the highs and lows, from his fight against Muhammad Ali (Sullivan Jones) to Michael Moorer (Charles Brewer Jr.) on his comeback bid. However, the film is just as much about George's faith as it is about his boxing as he walked away from the ring while still in his prime in order to minister. It's a well-done, heartfelt, and inspirational film that in today's oversensitive and hyper-politicized climate, we could use more of. 6/10
