This movie was great. I had been looking forward to watching One Night In Miami based on the premise and the director, Regina King. I have never known her to direct anything and wondered what her flavor would be. That is a thing I look for in movies. There are some directors that have zero flavor and its like the camera is just recording footage (like with The Undoing which was so flavorless I refuse to even write a review for the first episode I couldn't even finish). This is a conversation between four very influential Black men talking about what they could do, are doing, and will do to help Blacks in America. The men are Cassius Clay, Sam Cooke, Jim Brown, and Malcolm X. It begins in 1963 after Clay almost loses a fight because of his showboating. Cooke has a horrible performance in front of a white audience that doesn't even want him there. Brown has a really nice conversation with a white friend but when he offers to help the guy move his furniture he says they “don't allow ni**ers in the house.” Malcolm talks to his wife about his plans to leave the Nation of Islam.
