Don't expect that there will be something in this film that will keep you on the edge of your seat just because Clint Eastwood produced and directed it.
Instead, Eastwood cleverly brought the dismal life of jazz musician Charlie
"Bird" Parker to the screen by creating a great mix of historical fact, with
intelligent acting. This movie is not the best film you'll ever see, but it's not the worst. I would only recommend this movie to people who can sit for 3 hours and be OK with that. Also, this is a good movie for people curious to know about the stereotypical jazz musician's way of life.
