Review: Peacock's all-star 'Fight Night' is a near-knockout
Briefly

The Peacock series "Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist" effectively intertwines a high-profile robbery narrative with rich character dynamics, showcasing talents like Kevin Hart and Samuel L. Jackson.
Shaye Ogbonna's adaptation of the story maintains a focused storytelling approach amidst a large ensemble cast, providing depth without leaning into self-indulgent tendencies often found in heist narratives.
Hart's character, Gordon "Chicken Man" Williams, embodies an everyman charm, navigating dangerous circumstances while attempting to rise in a world of serious crime, creating a relatable complexity.
The show skillfully employs a mix of serious crime elements and charismatic performances, ensuring that each character, including the likes of Taraji P. Henson and Don Cheadle, receives meaningful attention.
