    Don’t have to be a Jordan fan to love this movie. But I am a Jordan fan and loved knowing how Air Jordan came about. Superb acting, inspiring story, and overall a great addition to the sport movie genre without really being about sports. Jordan is a legend and this movie…

Air reveals how an exceptional Black athlete leveraged his talent and the power of being pursued by a bunch of white men in suits, to change the game. Not just basketball, but the whole field of celebrity endorsements.

For most audiences, Air will be worth seeing just for the starry cast — particularly the reunion between Damon and Affleck. Their scenes possess a kinetic and intimate dynamism that the rest of the film approaches but doesn’t always match.
