Reviews

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
joshua-m-siegel The movie is unique, beautifully shot, amazingly edited, and a really in depth truthful viewpoint on how boxing came to be in the US and three of the greatest in the sport, their own personal journeys and how that weaves into the sport overall. It's easily one of if not the best documentaries about boxing ever made.
jin_sum I originally rented this movie because I'm a big boxing fan and I like to watch whatever Mike Tyson is in. I have to say that I was really surprised by how deep this film was and how the topics spanned far beyond a typical sports documentary. Of course, there are great fights and exciting historical moments for the sport, but I also learned a lot about the personal stories of these guys and how they correspond and relate to larger social issues. I would definitely recommend this to someone who was looking for something that is sports related, but that isn't only about sports. I felt good when I finished this one.
santiagocosme Champs is a wonderful documentary that any boxing fan should watch. It concentrates on the side of the sport that we don't get to see. It tells us the struggle and the reasons why boxers become boxers. The lives of the Holyfields, Tysons, and other sporting legends who found in boxing a door to a better life. And how from the top, they fell down, to find themselves again on the wrong side of life, with barely the means to survive. Boxing is dying little by little. It has lost his soul. Champs is probably the last great documentary we will get to see about boxers that became icons; boxers that paralyzed the world with their punches. A must see, if you care about the noble art.
ganeothem I'm sorry to be cliché, but I just had to say it. This is an incredibly stunning film that captivated my attention from start to finish. I not only loved the primary stories that traced and captured the three main guys - Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins - but I also loved hearing from the other voices. From experts in the field to A list celebrities, I was completely in awe of seeing people that I wouldn't have expected to be in a documentary about boxing to have such meaningful places. I was lucky enough to attend a special screening with Evander Holyfield, but I am also going to see it again with a few friends this weekend. It was so much more than a movie about the fight game and I am still thinking about it today.
