There is not a cheap note or a careless image, not an easy judgment or a forced emotion, in the 2 hr. 43 min. of Bird. It permits a man's life its complexity.

Meanwhile, time was running out in different ways for American boxers Anthony Hembrick and Kelcie Banks. Middleweight Hembrick, 22, captain of the U.S. team, missed a bus and never got a chance to fight.

...when he goes on to argue for a return to prayer and school, or to suggest that abortion should be made illegal, he loses his way. His usual sympathy for the underdog gives way to the kind of careless (one is tempted to say, heartless) cynicism so regrettably familiar to all of us.
