Tyson- Open and revealing!
By a customer from London , 21 Oct 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
Saw Tyson today as a part of the BFI London Film Festival and was knocked out.
Iron Mike Tyson is perhaps most famous for being infamous than famous. His life has been shaded with contraversy. He has been idolised and also villified and this film seeks to explore the man behind the stories. Director James Toback presents his friend talking about all aspects of his life from his troubled youth, to the heights of his career and the lows of his life. Tyson is the sole voice of the film which makes it all the more interesting and effective as we see how vulnerable and complex a character he is. The story he tells is both heartbreaking and funny. There are some very clever techniques used within the documentary which add to the intrigue. Most of all the film keeps you watching it's hard not to be touched and to feel empathy towards a man some perhaps still loathe. However, for others he will remain one of the greatest sportsman of all time and this film goes a long way to showing what the world of sport lost when Tyson left the sport.

(61)Brave, open hearted
By Olmerhomer (1 review) , 10 May 2013Very well done, I have always like his fighting but never knew what kind of person he is and as many of us coming from not the best places is important for the viewer to understand the difficulties one can face: full fear anger and above all lots of love. Good, Inspiring, encouraging. Sincere...- Was this review helpful to you?

worth watching even if you are not a boxing fan
By gayvampire (4 reviews) , 04 May 2013Just as most things in life, Mike Tyson is not what he appeared to be, and the most satisfying is seeing a thoughtful and contenplative and most supprisingly honest man reflect on his extradinary life - worth watching even if you are not a boxing fan.- Was this review helpful to you?

quite emotional and strong, i think a must see
By stoobyjo (1 review) from High Wycombe , 20 Mar 2012wether your a boxing fan or sport fan, wether your a TYSON fan or not, i feel you must see this. After watching this i was a bit touched by it but also wish could go back in time and make others see what iv just seen. he is a true champion but not just in the ring. brilliantly truthful.- Was this review helpful to you?

knockout doc
By a customer , 24 Jan 2012brilliant insight into one of the most electrifying heavyweights of all time in his own words. I've always enjoyed watching tyson the fighter but this documentary shows the side of tyson that i also enjoyed who he has become outside of the ring after the boxing has gone and shows an intelligence and wisdom that you wouldn't expect to see the from the one time 'baddest man on the planet'. Well worth a watch for anyone not just a boxing fan.- Was this review helpful to you?
