A serviceable, if stilted, biopic about the eponymous hero in boxing and racial equality, who became heavyweight champ in the '30s despite overwhelming prejudice and Max Schmelling. Real-life boxer Coley Wallace brings a boxer's authenticity to his portrayal of Joe Louis. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

Priorizar:
I'm used to Louis' story in terms of those Max Schmeling fights, whereas this is his standalone movie. Much of the film works almost in a documentary style, and watching the development is very interesting. The biography would look very different today. Those major boxing stories in the pre-war world are still attractive. Max, by the way, is played by William Thourlby.
