I think the person above has watched/reviewed the wrong film.
I've just got back from seeing this and it's purely a documentary featuring an interview with Tyson himself - no-one else, no actors.
I say 'interview' but you don't actually hear any questions asked - this is just Mike talking about his life/career almost as a monologue.
I thought it was a fantastic effort at just letting the user take from the picture what they want - there is no attempt to create a bias for or against Tyson in any way.
I never liked Tyson as a fighter/person but I realise having watched this that the person we saw tear up the heavyweight division in the 90s was a long way from the man himself. He now comes across as a humble man - though with few regrets.
The interspersing of his fights with his dialogue is superbly done - credit to the the direction of James Toback.
