Great bookend to Gibney's THE ARMSTRONG LIE.


Has anyone here seen both?

I happened to catch the Gibney documentary first, which is a different experience because Armstrong himself sat down with the director and was pretty frank about everything he did.

When I watched STOP AT NOTHING a couple of months later I was afraid it'd be less interesting now that I'd already basically heard the whole story in TAL. Was I ever wrong! TAL is mainly from Armstrong's perspective, while this one focuses more on the fallout his friends and teammates suffered because of him.

I'd highly recommend watching both if you can. They're an excellent complement to each other, and you really get the sense that, between the two, you finally get the whole picture. Obviously there's some overlap, but it also broadens the scope of the fraud. Armstrong comes off as a bona fide sociopath in both accounts. Compelling stuff.
