The Great White Hope - 4 stars out of 10

The Great White Hope - 4 stars out of 10

The character of Jack Jefferson and James Earl Jones' portrayal of him is incredible.  While the acting in this film is very real, its short runtime is a testament to the movie's great concept but poor development.  It felt as if the distance from point A to point B was very short and that little was accomplished.  I was hoping for Rocky with racism but found a little bit of boxing and a lot of arguments that didn't really advance the plot.
