This film reminds all of us on how dominant Mike Tyson really was in the ring during his prime! (Tyson) is a unique documentary that doesn't have a narrator. Every single line of words are spoken only through Mike Tyson; which makes it original & intriguing, but also disorientated at times.
Without using a narrator, allows the audience to personally experience what Mike Tyson was going through. You become extremely shock & mesmerized at how open he is and the details he is publicly sharing with the film's audience.
With the unique style of having the only spoken line of dialogs through Mike Tyson does create the problem by lacking a consistent flow to the time-line and his biography. Since everything we hear is what Tyson is delivering to us, I felt as though the filmmakers was throwing his line of interesting dialogs into the documentary, even though it seemed out of place or irrelevant within the film.
Do we truly believe everything Tyson says? Not really, but we do believe that Tyson himself believes in everything he says; which allows us to better understand him as an individual and the reasons behind his mind & actions. This film won't make you change the way you felt about him, but it will make you feel differently for who he is now; which is probably the attempt that the filmmakers wanted us to feel. At the end of all things, Mike Tyson is still human.
