incredible tyson


I feel this is a spectacular Tyson film. The performance are excellent. The production values are uniformly brilliant. To me when I first saw this aired in 1997 or so, I was convinced this was a cinema film and this is just the way I like a biopic, gloss and substance combined.
The actors are pretty much who I would have chosen. I loved Don King actor from The Terminator and Trek 2, that's just who I would have chosen automatically. The performance as Cus was great, of course the voice is different but there is enough there to successfully recreate the character.
Michael Jai White, I find convincing. The voice is similar, the boyish lisp, the body movement, the mannerisms when he is upset, moody. Of course you don't have the quite the same impression of a hulking animal in the ring like you did when the real Tyson destroyed opponents. But then again, what actor has got that. Tyson like Hitler, because their unusual presence, appearance, body language are quite hard to act convincingly. Michael Jai White is on the money.
