Tyson

[thartley]

Has anybody here seen this film? It might be a limited release sort of thing, but I was lucky enough to see it today. It is an hour and a half of the most candid and personal interview I've ever seen, liberally peppered with fantastic sports and news clips. Boxing is not really my thing, but the idea of a film/doc about Mike Tyson drew me in and I have to say, I was completely hooked from frame 1. He has a pretty moving and powerful personal narrative of his life and he lays it straight out, no socially acceptable filters to his dialogue at all. From his childhood, arrested at age 12 yrs, and soon thereafter taken under the wing of Cus D'Amato, he tells a story that just engages you.

If its playing in your area, try to check it out.

Yeh was a good doco but I found the editing really annoying, how they started another clip before the last finished, they kind of over layed each other.
