WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Yashua Kimbrough (jimniexperience) A stand-up comedy/biography into the life of Mike Tyson ; him growing up in Brooklyn, relations with his mother and childhood friends, his time in detention center and meeting his mentor, life with white fans, becoming the champ, dealing with losses of death, the Mo Green Story, his fall into cocaine and his retribution for his kids and livelihood ..I'm proud to say Mike Tyson is one of the last male role models alive , and he's grown into a wise man10/10

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.

billcr12 Mike Tyson takes the stage on Broadway and proves to be a great storyteller with the timing of a seasoned stand up comedian. He starts with a terrible childhood in Brooklyn, New York, with a drug addicted mother and maybe pimp father who was never a part of young Mike's life. Reform schools and jail were inevitable, and a chance meeting with boxing trainer Cus D'Amato changed the course of Tyson's future. Everything is fodder, including the very strange and interesting marriage to actress Robin Givens and rape case involving Desiree Washington. Mike does hilarious imitations of D'Amato and his former manager Don King. Throw away any preconceptions you may have and give Tyson a chance, and I promise that you will not be disappointed; a solid nine out of ten.

ktyson9426 This is a one man show about Mike Tyson's life and experiences and runs the gambit... It's open, honest, humorous, sad, touching and inspiring. If anyone ever held an opinion of him, good or bad, then they should see this.Mike chronicles his life as a child living in poverty and not really knowing either of his parents, to adjusting to finding love and acceptance with the D'Amato family, gives the viewer a sense of what it's like to be a rising star and world famous by the time he was 20, what it was like for a young man with $50,000,000 and wolves constantly nipping at his financial heels, his drug abuse issues, prison, his spiritual and emotional implosion, the death of his daughter... and most importantly his subsequent rebirth.Even as he poked fun at himself, I got the sense of struggle he went through with what seemed to be a constant change of his surroundings, and the anger and mistrust he experienced trying to adjust to them. He gives you an idea of how surrealistic life can be when you're as rich and famous as he was, and how difficult it must have been to make sense of it. I can't imagine anything crazier than to be sitting in prison and having a surprise visit by Florence Henderson of the Brady Bunch.The thing I took away from this show though was that there was most definitely a human being behind all the hype, and the PR that people saw on TV through the 90's and 2000's. Mike showed an incredible sense of peace considering everything he's gone through in his life, and demonstrated he came through it with a warmth, humanity, and an incredible sense of humor. He seems to be the first to be able to laugh at himself, and his own mistakes. At times when he could have taken cheap shots at people he restrains himself, and others he lets the people have it with both barrels. Mostly, he finds the humor in the situations he was in good or bad. He did take time to talk about the losses of family members he's experienced in his life, and how it affected him.Few people can lay claim to having been in the positions he was in life. After watching "Undisputed Truth", William Blake's line "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" certainly seems appropriate. Mike has a wisdom that is well earned and hard fought. I've been a fan of his from back when he first became champ, and after watching this I finally think I got a sense of who he really is. I certainly hope he has the best of luck with his career and life.
