...fact Farrell, a relative unknown from Ireland who gives an impressive performance as the son of a senator who is shielded from the front line but not from confrontational situations in the POW camp. Farrell, as well as Marcel Iures (who plays German Col. Wilhelm Visser) and Terrence Howard (who plays Hart’s client), all upstage Willis’ colonel. In fairness to Willis, however, his character is much less dynamic than his German counterpart or his subordinates. While these other three characters each get the chance to glorify their position with a speech, Willis never utters more...

The initial screenplay, which Gregory Allen Howard (Remember the Titans) delivered in 1996, offered this fascinating insight: "The key to Ali's life was his relationship with his father, who ignored him," says Howard. "It explains his need to please older men like Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad, Howard Cosell and Don King...
...historical accuracy. Jamie Foxx studied tapes of Ali's late, drug-addled corner man Drew (Bundini) Brown. Jon Voight, who last summer hid himself under layers of prosthetics as Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Pearl Harbor, again endured hours each day in the makeup chair, this time disguising himself as Howard Cosell. The witty verbal sparring between Ali and Cosell provides some of the movie's most entertaining moments.
