Storyline:
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.

Excellent shows clearly the huge mental and social impact of growing up in poverty and without parental love.

A great documentary about a great sports icon and American character. You get to know the complexities of this man through his honest testimony. It makes you realize that until you've walked in another person's shoes, you cannot judge them fairly.

I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. I have read two books on Tyson and saw the Barbra Kopple documentary on TV some years ago, but I still found this film to be creative and enlightening. True, if you have absolutely no interest in the subject, I can see why you might not like it. But if that's the case i have no idea why you would attend a screening in the first place.

This is perhaps one of the best documentaries I can recall seeing. The editing is terrific and the movie really flows beautifully despite being almost 2 hours long. Tyson is portrayed in a manner that actually causes sympathy from the audience, despite his history of abuses and mistakes. This is particularly true in light of the tragedy he is now dealing with due to the death of his daughter. I highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone, whether you are a boxing fan or not.
