Movie #2103 "One Night in Miami" (Amazon Prime) this wasn't as good as I thought it would be --- it was really mostly a filmed play, but unlike "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," it moved in the environment less --- it was mostly all in one room in a hotel. The acting was good, but it never made the story in the film come alive to me --- it was very slow. These characters are bigger than life and you would think they didn't have to move as much, but I felt I wanted them to move more --- their words weren't as dynamic as the people saying them. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 --- and not really recommend it to many people, except maybe if you are interested in the history -- and maybe intrigued by any one of the real people in this fictional meet up?
