I was somewhat disappointed in this Don Cheadle look at the great trumpeter during a period of absolute desolation when he couldn’t produce. His music dissolved. Co-starring Emayatzy Corineladi as Francis Taylor, the dancer he loved and damaged and Ewan McGregor as a free-lance journalist seeking to learn what’s happened to the great man, the film includes plenty of gun-play, killings, drugs and crazed car chases as everyone tries to get their hands on Miles’s latest self-produced tape. I wanted more about his music, which MD’s son says in one of the special features wouldn’t have been interesting. With all due respect, that’s what is interesting about him. The scenes with him actually producing along with the great Lee Evans are a real pleasure to watch. That’s where we get to understand Miles as technical artist; we see him as a focused student of all musical forms. That’s interesting. The other stuff?. Not so much. Still, I love watching Don Cheadle work, and he clearly got Davis’s persona. Corineladi and McGreor are very good. Check out the special features attached to the DVD
