Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
TxMike By now any of us who pay any attention at all to cycling know the end game here. We know that after years of in-your-face denials Armstrong has admitting that he lied all those years, admitted that he indeed was on a number of performance-enhancing drugs while he was winning several consecutive Tour de France individual championships. Many if not most of us at least saw clips from the interview he did with Oprah.This is a good documentary, it is over 90 minutes, it has lots of clips from competitions, lots of interviews with teammates and close associates of Armstrong during those years, lots of snippets of Armstrong declaring his innocence. It shows his ruthlessness at going after others and trying to defame them if he thought they had turned on him. By any measure Armstrong is a dastardly, untrustworthy person and he brought it all on himself. He wasn't an easily-led victim, he was the ringleader. But what I miss from this presentation is more from Armstrong after the Oprah event. What were his feelings now about turning on his friends and trying to destroy them? Does he just look at it as a "business decision" that failed? Or has he come to realize how wrong his behavior was?I was one of the avid TV spectators as Armstrong won those Tour de France titles. Armstrong was such a convincing fraud and liar I became angry at the French for continually accusing Armstrong of something he assured us was false. I was duped and if I ever happened to encounter Armstrong face-to-face I'd just tell him, "You cheated, you lied, you let all your fans down, how dare you!"
MovieHoliks I just saw this documentary about 7-time "Tour de France" winning cyclist, Lance Armstrong, and trust me, it ain't pretty...LOL The film begins as your usual bio-doc. about a celebrity, starting with his humble up-bringings, and then going into his early success at age 21, huge winning streak, his bout with cancer, etc.. but very quickly evolves into an Armstrong-slam-fest by his former friends who claim he destroyed their lives with his combination of doping and lies. I dunno, this doc. seems to be very one-sided. I mean I realize Armstrong was using the "performance enhancement drugs" and everything, but then again, weren't most of them probably using them-??- or something else-?? It just seems that he used them, and WON-?? This doc. itself I quite enjoyed, however- very well done, other than the one- sidedness...
juneebuggy This Australian made documentary takes a look at Lance Armstrong's doping scandal including interviews with his former teammates, friends and enemies. Using assorted TV clips it follows his career from the beginning, including his seven wins in Tour de France, his battle against cancer, his come back, and the suspicions, all the way to his downfall culminating with him finally admitting everything to Oprah Winfrey on live TV. -Which ultimately made me feel really sad, a feeling I didn't expect.After so many years of adamantly denying he was doping he finally just... admits it. I tried to figure out why this bothered me so much and I think its because everybody wants a hero.A well done documentary but not impartial, this destroys him from beginning to end, while also showing just how big this scandal was and the (apparent) lengths that were undergone to keep certain people quiet. It felt like a giant conspiracy with huge companies, millions of dollars and death threats. Wow. 7/7/14
OJT Australian documentary which goes down to the core of the story behind Lance Armstrong. The cyclist, the fraud, the liar... The fall from grace.We follow his story from his seven wins in Tour de France, his battle against cancer, his come back, and the suspicions and all the way to the downfall, and him admitting everything to Oprah Winfrey on live TV.A well made documentary, which also shows that Armstrong still isn't able to deal with all of his history, even after admitting that he cheated inn all 7 wins in Tour de France, and probably in all of his once great career as the best cyclist the world had seen. It was all a hoax, and here's the whole story in a feature documentary.
