Joe Frazier: When the Smoke Clears



A rare look at Joe Frazier
A great look at the later life of Joe Frazier. Straightforward and honest portrayal of where his life has gone and how he got by at the end. Good interviews with family and friends help put his life and legacy in perspective.

What to expect
If you think this is a insightful view of one of the greats of boxing this is not it. ESPN did a better job in their production that was broadcast after his passing. Yes, there is some good interviews with Joe in his later days but still there is not any discussion about his career from his point of view. There is very little history here. It is really more about Marvis and his community work. The cover photo leads you to believe one thing...but it does not have the knockout you would expect.

Happy with Service but ...
The service for the film Joe Frazier: When the smoke clears was excellent and I would definitely use them again. The film itself left much to be desired! It was overly long and drawn out. I believe Joe's story could have been said in much better ways. That said, RENT the film and don't buy it!
