Deliberately different from what a Miles' fan would construct the image of Miles by reading the autobiography and various biographies, the movie is competently produced, and fun to watch for Miles' fans.
The live at the end showcasing Miles' proteges of his legendary quintet (65~68), Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, with the director Don Cheadle impersonating Miles, is simply priceless.
