Review of Reggie

Reggie (2023)
2/10
Bring The Brie Because There's A Lot Of Whine In Here
2 June 2023
Reggie Jackson is one of the most iconic athletes in the 20th Century. He was self anointed as the "straw that stirs the drink." Well the fizz is nowhere to be found in this flat and monotonous monolog on race and how Reggie was done wrong.

The early sequences of him in Birmingham were quite eye opening and shed some light on the times and even his future team as he came up with guys like Rudi and Fingers in Birmingham, both of whom are in the doc.

But it didn't stop there. For a guy that made hundreds of millions and sported one of the greatest, private car collections, you'd think Jackson was a victim of indentured servitude.

I'm sure Reggie has some great stories but for someone baring it all, they're conspicuously absent.

For someone so dynamic and exciting, Reggie comes across bitter and dare I say, a bit of a bore.
