Coming Soon: "Tyson"
Speaking as someone who is not a sports fan and who doesn't care for boxing at all, I knew nothing of Mike Tyson beyond his infamous reputation as the guy who bit Evander Holyfield's ear before seeing James Toback's compelling documentary, Tyson (Sony Pictures Classics, 4.24).
So naturally, the film was nothing like what I expected. Mike Tyson is an astonishingly eloquent and self aware speaker, reflecting on the ups and downs of his career with startling candor, revealing a heretofore unseen vulnerability and even wisdom. Tyson is a raw, revelatory piece of work that will open eyes and possibly change some minds about one of the sports world's most notorious bad boys. Sony Pictures Classics will open the film on April 24 in limited release.
