carlrooney-222-956794 I've loved Mike Tyson the boxer from the very 1st time I remember watching him during my tennage years back in the nineties. I'm from a rural town in England a million miles from Brooklyn New York and a million miles from the "gutter" as Mike would call it. To this day the media in the UK does its best to put people up on high down to the depths of despair and Mike alike so many others was never portraid to be anything other than an "animal" from my memory. IgNorant to media I could care less and ignored bad publicity because in my eyes Mike was a phenom a unique once in a millennia gift from the so called God above. An unmatched raw talent with electric speed and god like power that instantly made me a fan and gradually in a short space of time would see him rise to the top of the tree in my own "best boxer" pecking order. Yet who is Mike Tyson, what was his life like and would the "baddest man on the planet" ever share his story. Luckily Yes and he has. Whether you want to or not there is a lot to like and in some love about Iron Mike and you will be pleasantly surprised in Mike,s one man show delivery that he seems to be a natural. There may be profrainity and there may be violence described (within moderation) but hearing the story from the man himself may put all those sad sad doubters to bed. 9/10

beierfilms Remember in Raging Bull when Jake tries his hand at the comedy clubs? Remember how painfully awkward those scenes where? Well Jake is freaking Richard Pryor compared to Mike Tyson in his one man show. It's just painful to watch as tries to get a laugh or tell a meaningful story. I remember once seeing a drunken guy try to do stand up in an open mic night. He'd lose focus and then suddenly start swearing and say he was going to "beat the ****" out of someone. Mike's show reminded me so much of the drunken stand-up that it was frightening. I couldn't help but wonder why HBO even bothered to air this. I've never been a Tyson fan but I started watching this in hopes that there was more to this guy than I thought. Well, to him then the angry thug we've all seen but, if he is a deeper guy, this show certainly doesn't showcase that.

Jonathon Natsis Renowned sports fanatic, basketball tragic and occasional loudmouth Spike Lee swaps the hardwood of Madison Square Garden for the velvet curtains of Broadway, and Mike Tyson swaps sweaty mitts for a shiny mic in Undisputed Truth, a taping of one of Tyson's one-man shows in which he candidly shares the highs, lows, jokes and traumas of his colourful and exorbitant life.You don't earn this many nicknames without having a natural and all-consuming charisma and Mike Tyson, alias 'Iron Mike', alias 'Champ', alias 'The baddest man on the planet,' has it in droves. He tells the story the only way it can possibly be told, not with stereotypically bearded and bespectacled talking heads, or bland and well-worn archive footage, but with a youthful enthusiasm that truly captures the man he is: one with many faults but who oozes passion and a pursuit of excellence.Tyson's storytelling is a little sloppy and often erratic, but certainly never boring. Those looking for a well-balanced discussion of some of the most scrutinised moments of his life may find Undisputed Truth to be as shallow and self-serving as any predictable, studio-sanctioned biopic. But Iron Mike doesn't care. If he wants to explicitly denounce Don King, call his ex-wife a demonic, rabid golddigger or recall the time he didn't know what to do with Brad Pitt – the details of which are far too sordid for publication – then that's exactly what the Champ will do.His tale isn't all slander and street fights though, as some genuinely touching moments come through in his remembrance of fallen friends and family. If there was something admirable about the brash, violent young man who turned sheer rage into inconceivable success, then there's just as much to like about the reflective, repentant man he has become, both traits of which are displayed in equal measure in this engrossing narrative.*There's nothing I love more than a bit of feedback, good or bad. So drop me a line on jnatsis@iprimus.com.au and let me know what you thought of my review. If you're looking for a writer for your movie website or other publication, I'd also love to hear from you.*

jack-856-87676 Awesome a lot of things he did in his life were done from his sense of reality which he perceived to be the worlds. We all experience life through our filters then judge other people based on what we think is right. What he does have going on now is the will to be something different to re shape his values and ethics and it may take until he dies but the process will be ongoing. For me the funniest part was brad Pitt coming home with his ex wife. I could picture brads reaction (without Mikes description). If I was Brad Pitt I would have tried to knock myself out before he go to me. Unfortunately we are a society that has become obsessed with reality shows and TV duly feed this hunger with cleverly edited pieces the goal of which is to create conflict. We like to love people and in order to do this they need a nemesis. We as a public fed off his misfortune because we felt we owned his success and by doing that it gave us the right to choose his downfall. The real insight to life is Evander Holyfield who is missing part of his anatomy but chose to forgive him. That is true understanding because Mike kept saying what a good man he was. That is the true state and the core of people one word forgiveness.
