This documentary/biography was as if Iron Mike was talking directly at me and if the answers to my many questions he was providing about his early life living in poverty, fighting and robbing in the streets with gangsters and his petty crimes, and from the first time he put on a pair of boxing gloves to meeting his mentor and eventual adopted father figure Cus D'Amato, through to his current sober life with his own children.
It is documentaries/biographies such as this one that you gain an appreciation for the filmmakers, especially the editors and directors. Mike Tyson outlines who he is, what he was (the good but mostly the bad) and who he has become today.
All the questions and genuine interest I had in Iron Mike Tyson were answered and I will admit that although his life story is distressing, depressing, it is mostly a unique and interesting life story.
I hope one day a wise producer will develop a ten (10 or 12) or twelve part TV Mini Series on the life of Iron Mike Tyson. The physical and mental fitness level it takes to become boxing's Heavyweight Champion of the World only a few men have ever attained. Mike Tyson also happens to be the youngest man ever at age twenty (20) to wear the Heavyweight championship belt.
