One Night in Miami is cinematic triumph for director Regina King, screenwriter Kemp Powers

What kind of a party planner was Malcolm X? This is one of many questions raised and answered in Regina King’s directorial debut, “One Night in Miami.” The Amazon Studios drama, adapted for the screen by playwright Kemp Powers, features sizzling wit, towering political debate and sobering realities in the lives of four Black icons brought together Feb. 25, 1964. On its face, “One Night in Miami” is a historical drama about Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) becoming the world heavyweight champion, converting to Islam and transforming into “Muhammad Ali.” This is all part of the story King sets out to tell, but the narrative detaches from Clay somewhere in the second act and turns instead to a more engaging central conflict: Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and his efforts to convert Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) into a civil rights activist.
