Boxing fans will be thrilled by Toback's film, filled as it is with multi-camera angles and behind-the-scenes footage of some of the greatest fights in the sports history.

It all adds up to a fascinating psychological study, a film that goes beyond both the public persona and the fighter's own spin to get at the frightened, angry, explosive, yet utterly understandable boy who became a very troubled and very public man.

Whether or not the troubled Mike deserves our sympathy, is left up to the viewer.

Something of a cliché.

Toback presumably wants us to see Tyson as a product of his times, but we can't really buy that.

Compelling as Iron Mike is to listen to, it's hard to fault the filmmaker for not wanting to interrupt him.

Half-appealing, half-pathetic.

Listening to Tyson tell his side of the story, you come to understand him with new depth and complexity.

Turns out Mike Tyson, lo and behold, isn't that interesting after all. He's an unreliable narrator, sure, but mostly he's just a grotesque cartoon of every athlete who never had to answer for anything as long as they were making other people money.

The most remarkable revelation of the movie is its subject's thoughtful, reflective eloquence and unflinching self-perception...Tyson may or may not be entirely who he says he is, but he's probably not who we thought he was, either.

The greatest bout of Tyson's life was no singular opponent but him being an experimental pawn in the battle of nature versus nurture.

Some documentaries grow in the shadows; others demand to be made. The story of boxer Mike Tyson, powerfully recounted in a new film, is as rich as a Dickens novel.
