I wish that Don Cheadle movie was better. How you mess up a movie about Miles Davis and you got the perfect actor to play him?

Don Cheadle had his chance

What was wrong with it? I saw it and thought it was good

The side character they introduced if I recall correctly was more of the story than Davis. I remember feeling underwhelmed by the story.

Damson is a cool actor, but i don't think this is the part for him.

I understand the sentiment and uproar of non Black Americans playing these roles

But at the same time when Don Cheadle was in Hotel Rwanda and had the worst African accent I've ever heard, no one batted an eye

Denzel Washington played Steve Biko and Malcolm X..

Unless the complaints are coming from a place of noticing Black American actors being barred or neglected from playing Black American legends, any other concerns come across as whining

The insulting message to black men was the rollout for the news of this casting
