A humanizing portrait of a man many consider a beast. Filmmaker James Toback is distinctly pro-Tyson in his film editing, showing little of the man's lengthy fall from grace. But that is no matter: we already know the details of Tyson's life so well. The fascinating part of this documentary is listening to Tyson - an admittedly far-out dude - spin one nonsensical yarn after another. He wears damage on his frame, and we continue to watch him. The ring footage reminds us that he once was an incredible boxer, one of the greats of all time.
