MIKE TYSON: UNDISPUTED TRUTH
November 16, 2013  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

This new HBO Film, directed by Spike Lee, captures Mike Tyson’s limited-run one-man Broadway show, a lengthy biographical monologue in which, backed by visual aids, he runs through his life, giving running, high-energy commentary along the way. It’s certainly a way to get inside Tyson’s head, but sometimes, as when he gives his account of his marriage, the surprise revelations are offset by some off-putting misogynist one-liners. Tyson’s Truth may not be undisputed – but it’s unvarnished, which makes his very physical, very verbal show impressive on that count alone.
