Soft-spoken, contemplative, weepy, the subject of James Toback’s documentary "Tyson" — Mike Tyson, former heavyweight champion of the world — is not the ferocious, ear-biting, head-butting convicted rapist (“falsely accused,” he insists) that the media have painted him to be. (Full review)
"Tyson" is not a conventional film biography. There is no variety of viewpoints, no back and forth about episodes in his life, and, except for interview footage from the past, no other voices heard. (Full review)
