2/5

Uneven basketball biopic has language, drinking, drugs.

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.

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

10/30/2020

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.
