If you are expecting a bio of Miles Davis, you will be disappointed. If you want to see an actor portray Miles Davis as he was, you will love this movie.
It is really just a two day adventure in the life of the Dark Prince, which may or may not have actually happened. But it is definitely how Miles would have done it. Don Cheadle did a jaw dropping portrayal.
If you know about Miles you will not be surprised by the violent brooding personality displayed here. The film suggests it was caused by his pining for his beloved ex wife, I don't know, but it is very believable.
As far as the soundtrack goes, we are treated to brief Miles Davis standards. The scene were the character of Junior is rehearsing in a club, is the best musically.
This is definitely for Miles fans. You will have fun, but don;t expect to learn anything new about the life of the Dark Prince.
