I know the movie is two years old already. I saw this movie for the first time, thought it was great. Mike Tyson talks the whole time but he was really good. He talks about women, he talks about the rape, him beating down King for taking his money. He talks about biting Holyfield and he was honest about it. And the animosity he still has for the rapee and his managers makes him look so innocent. It showed the vulnerable side of him.

It was really good. I started watching it thinking "There is no way that I will sit through this whole thing" but it was interesting enough that I did.
I also loved the HBO Mike Tyson Movie with Michael Jai White as well as the Don King "Only in America" one with Ving Rhames.

Yea I was thinking the same, I didn't think I was gonna sit through the whole thing. But what got me into it was when he was talking about his trainer and how he saved Mike from the streets. I haven't seen the other movies you mentioned.

I found myself laughing during that beach scene where is talking about the rape.
My favorite part was when he talked about his routine before he entered the ring and how he knew he wasnt losing. I think he said he would stare down the oponent and never lose eye contact and he said once the opponent looked away he knew he already had the match won. Then he says something like he envisioned his fist going through the skull of his opponent.
Tyson was a savage in his prime.
Great film.
