Battle Royale With Cheese

Blackjack: The Jackie Ryan Story serviceably tells its underdog story but can't quite deliver on the film's full picture of promise.

Enjoyable basketball biopic of a unique individual. The screenplay packs a lot into a compacted timeline, so the pacing is uneven in parts, but the charismatic cast delivers throughout, and the smooth direction results in an overall satisfying movie.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The movie means well. The storytelling, timeline, acting, and accuracy all fall very short.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Jump in the front cart, buckle up, and enjoy this rollercoaster of emotions. A+ casting and acting takes you into the true life story of the best street baller the world has seen, Jackie Blackjack Ryan.
