CGiii Comment

Doesn't he have a camp voice?

A self-serving piece of personal propaganda - he may be punched-drunk...but, he really is stupid.

Toback uses gimmicky split-screen too often - once is more than enough - and, allows Tyson to speak too much...albeit ineloquent, slurred, and [mostly] inaudible.

One-sided nonsense - see through it and see what Tyson really is...the bullied became the bully! Indeed!

As believable as the many times he declared himself to be not guilty.

The(ir) Blurb...

Mike Tyson narrates his life story as a reaction to fear and as a resolution not to be bullied or humiliated as he was when a boy in Brooklyn's mean streets. He starts boxing while at a state detention center; his coach there sends him to Cus D'Amato who becomes trainer, father figure, and confidence builder. Tyson wins a series of championships and, for six years, is unbeatable. A failed marriage, a felony conviction, and lack of training lead to his fall. We see later losing fights and archive footage of other incidents in his life. Tyson concludes by speaking philosophically about being a father and trying to be a better person.
