Tyson

Tyson ( ***1/2) 2009 A James Toback Film . The most compelling aspect of this documentary bio pic is that it is 100 percent narrated in the first person by Mike Tyson himself . Through the course of these interviews he succeeds in contradicting himself many times. Some great footage of his teen years at Cus D'amato's camp in Catskill NY. It was during that period when he first turned pro that i saw him from ringside at the Mid Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie. He was scary then he's scary now. If you have interest in fight films or sports figures this is a fascinating close look. Tyson's voice and contradictionsn can get fatiguing but worth the view. Found it in the 3 for $20 bin at Blockbuster.
