Audience Member A tour de force performance from Ving Rhames. Moves fast and tell a fascinating story of a man who stepped on, stepped over, manipulated, and down right cheated on everybody to get to the top. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I discovered this movie in a National Wholesale Liquidators junk bin for twentyfive cents and needless to say it was worth every penny. If you can find it anywhere it is actually well made and compelling. A well-written docudrama which neither paints King as wholly sympathetic nor as entirely snake-like but rather as the complex and charismatic character he no-doubt is in real life, the film's overall appeal can perhaps be summed up best by describing the scene in which Don is trying to sign up George Foreman for a big fight after accosting him in an airport bathroom. He tosses Foreman a wad of cash, relives himself in a urinal and then holds out a pen for George to sign what is apparently a blank contract. George asks "Aren't you going to wash your hands?" Don answers "I wash my hands BEFORE I touch my dick." Five stars. Oscar worthy performance by Ving Rhaymes in this one.

I don't know where Flixster got their description of the film. But, it is wrong! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 150517: A different film. Made me laugh out loud on at least three occasions. That's got to be worth something, no? Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
