    I watched it twice, once at the london flm festival and yesterday at the a special screening for a Film Review show made by Al Jazeerah English. The director was in attendance and spoke with us after the film.

    Loved it, low budget and so affective with information.

    Watching Mike choke up with tears and trying to fight back from crying on film was just sad!

    You will all enjoy it.

    We see clips of all the fights we have already seen, including amateur stuff, with added sound effects, crisp sound from audio sources.
    Also has Mike dubbing/commentating his old fights, even the losses he recieved which is interesting to hear.

    I watched it with a mixed audience which became hilarious when Mike would deliver some outrageous stuff, they were shocked but found a way to let out some laughter!

    The Director gave more insight with the iscussion, he also spoke about Mike's reaction to the film, Mike said it was a greek tragedy with him being the subject. Also Mike realised why people were so afraid of him from watdching the documentary gave some insight of it all.

    Yeah, will look out for this one. Kind of gets boring all the endless documentaries on Tyson and Ali that don't really offer anything new, just the same old footage over and over again. However, considering that this features an insight from Mike himself makes this very appealing.

    yeah , it had people crying at the end. Very emotional especially watching Mike playing with his young kids from archive footage provided by his ex wife, Monica.

    Also interestingly Mike talks about Prison , it shows he was intimidated/scared of the people in there, from officers to the insane criminals. But he doesn't flow into much detail if he was beaten up or you know had altercations with inmates.

    Mike's hatred for Don King (rightfully so!!) is highlighted in this film too.
