Watch Don King: Only in America For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I am an accountant and very versed in big business throughout history. When I saw the movie I was impressed with the mannerism of Don King during the early years and how he managed to overcome the American societal culture of the time. Of course the opinions of today are negative because we do not live in that time and more than likely have not done very much research into what life was like for the average person and definitely zero research for the unpopular black American. I for one am not for or against the mafia way of life or dishonesty, but you have to know something about ALL American history to attempt to understand why things happened the way they did and how the people of the time made a success of themselves. Don King has sustained in the same industries for decades against all odds, which included deep underground crime hurdles. I give credit where credit is due and if you are honest and not jealous, you would have to as well. The movie makers did a great job on the movie and I give them credit as well. Great movie. Thank you.

the quality of this movie surprised me. The editing, dialogues, and screenplay flow is superb. Tough for an actor to act to be Don King, an actor himself. Learned new english words too: "tried to DISMERCIFY me". I would reccomend that the viewer see first "When We Where Kings", the documentary of the Ali-Foreman fight in Zaire, because a good 20 minutes of this movie re-enacts many scenes straight from the documentary. There are imaginative scenes and dialogues: how the character impersonating Don King talks to the camera [audience] saying how HBO is making a movie on him; stunning beginning in which a scene from the past is bridged to the present zooming in on the footsteps on a stairway, then zooming out to see the entire figure walking of a much older person.

This film turned out much , much better than i was expecting. A superb leading role by Ving Rhames as the Money Grabbing Don King . Also watch out for Darius Mccrary as Mohammed Ali. This film does not make Don king out to be a great man as i thought it was going to before i watched it. It depicts him as a Money lead Cheat and also a Racist who has no thought for anybody he worked with. Very watchable and compelling.

Don King is a self-promoter the likes that few have seen in our lifetime. This film takes a novel approach to telling the King story, blowing KING up into as big a buffoon as possible, and using King himself (actor Ving Rhames) in telling the tale. I give director John Herzfeld credit-it's a novel and appropriate approach to the biography of a man who truly is more caricature than real.Rhames gives an inspired and convincing performance as King, breathing much life into a film from a book that was for all practical purposes stillborn.Enjoy the movie for Rhames and pay little attention to the details.
