I'm a huge Tyson fan and I learned things about him that I never knew. My sister is not a boxing fan, but she thought it was a really interesting and entertaining film, too, because there was much more to the film than just boxing. It reminded me of a more elevated and better done 30 for 30 because it showcased people's real stories, while still infusing sports.… Expand

Absolutely riveting, entertaining and enthralling. A total "knock-out", excuse my pun.

Tyson's well known climb, but lesser known as well-Holyfield and Hopkins. Well balanced of the hard work, and the skills/attitude to become the champ, but the mixed culture of empowerment and false security. Good story telling and good footage, along with good interviews to give a look inside the world of these fighters. Some/most is what you know but interesting if you can enjoy the sport.… Expand

This is a truly outstanding film with a lot of great messages. There is so much negativity out there these days and seeing things that inspire or make you think twice about goodness are really refreshing. This film was that for me.

I watched this on Amazon the other night and felt compelled to write review on a few sites. It was really that great! I was pretty impacted by it for hours and even days after.

Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins (who I had never heard of) were so incredible in this film! They were so open and human, making it easy for any viewer to connect with them. So powerful and so much more than a sports movie.

Wholly surprising socio-economic story, which uses boxers as vehicles for these incredibly important topics. This film straddle the line between a film about social causes and a character piece, which made is one of the most unique films I've seen.

I actually have seen this movie twice - once at Tribeca and once with friends when it opened in theaters. It's just so special and difficult to compare to anything else I've seen recently.

I really recommend this documentary. I love the shift that's happening in docs to make them higher quality and more exciting and this one is totally on trend with that. Just a great experience all around and a phenomenal story.

I am a female and not always a huge sports fan. This film appeals to my demographic expertly (not to be sexist), but the incredible emotion and depth expelled through the protagonists was incredibly special.

This film is truly stunning. Not only is it beautifully shot, but the messages and inspiration that you take away from it is extraordinary. You don't have to be a boxing fan or even enthusiast to truly appreciate this documentary.

This film is more of a blowout than a knockout, if you pardon the pun. The movie is a bit beaten up, if you pardon the pun. The gloves are off, if you pardon the pun.
