Tyson (2008)
Saw it at Sundance, Saw it again

The first time, I didn't feel compelled to write in. After my second viewing I did. Toback has done a wonderful job of connecting the fans of Mike, me being one of them, to the real Mike Tyson. Nothing new is told. We all watched his decline and, personally, I was heartbroken over it. This film left me less heartbroken but feeling more nostalgic for the man who I used to cheer for. I remember my friends and I would bet if Iron Mike would allow his opponents to survive the first or second round. That's how I want to remember him. A pure fighting machine. Toback did that for me despite the inevitable downfall of Iron Mike.
