Sinopsis(1)
El excampeón mundial de los pesos pesados Mike Tyson habla sobre los altibajos de su vida, su carrera, las polémicas en las que se ha visto envuelto y el tiempo que pasó en prisión en este crudo, honesto y poderoso 'show' - no exento de humor - dirigido por el reputado cineasta Spike Lee. Filmado en el transcurso de dos actuaciones que, bajo el mismo título, Mike Tyson ofreció en julio de 2013, el filme presenta un vívido retrato del ascenso de un chico de la calle que llegó a la cima de su deporte sólo para terminar viendo cómo su influencia y su prestigio se evaporaban. En los espectáculos, Tyson revela historias nunca antes contadas y muestra cómo ha sobrevivido, reinventándose a sí mismo como hombre de familia, estrella de la televisión, actor y, pronto, autor que verá su trabajo publicado. El filme es un reflejo de su madurez y de cómo valora esta segunda oportunidad que la vida le ha ofrecido. (Movistar+)

Who doesn’t know Mike Tyson? When we were just children, we heard the story of how he bit off his opponent’s ear in the ring. However, this 83 minutes long stand-up sketch is quite different as it beautifully opens up the way into Mike Tyson’s soul. The best thing about it is that he laughs at his mistakes. He admits them, laughs at them and hopes that his future will be completely different. At times I laughed, at times I just stared at the conditions Mike lived in. And it was worth it.

Who would have thought that this guy, who became famous in the ring and was an aggressive madman, would eventually gain fame as a stand-up comedian? It sounds a bit like a cliché, especially when you remember the movie Raging Bull, but mostly the boxer LaMotta, who also ended up making a living as a stand-up comedian. True, he did have his club where he tried to make something out of it. Mike Tyson is good in this regard on an international level. Mainly because he can look at himself and what he did with perspective, and he's able to make fun of himself. I hope he doesn't screw it up again somehow.
