TYSON: A REVIEW

guy_gunaratne
Mike Tyson has teamed up with his director buddy James Toback to make (probably) one of the most insightful and honest depictions of a tragic rise and fall I've ever seen. The simplicity in which Toback tells this sorry tale is key here - the sole narration is by Tyson and could easily turn into a couch confession that turns tired after half and hour but the deft editing and touching imagery make the story Tyson tells one worth hearing.

No matter what you think of Tyson, this film goes a long way by sifting through the bizarre public persona to give us an insight into a damaged mind that hit the spotlight too soon and fell to the ground harder.
