Rezension von ciffou

I believe this documentary could really have benefitted from (A) another director; or (B) not having Bisping as one of the executive producer (with obvious power on the final cut). He's charming (and handsome) enough to keep you hooked. The movie manages to drag while still dodging the more interesting part of his story. Obviously there are things he doesn't want to share - but those would have provided more humanity to it all. Granted, I might not be the target audience. I would have loved to know more about his parents, his wife's "purpose" of just "being there for him", what drives him to keep hurting his body, more than what the bros think about him...except for Michael Jai White, who is not afraid to not act and talk like a grown-up frat boy.

If the target audience is only Joe Rogan fans pumped by the cringy words of Vin Diesel that "being an alpha is a pain in the a.." there is no need of the artsy shots of the gloves and Bisping's dramatizations of his own moves before we see the actual footage. In my opinion, the rhythm changes by the time we see the footage of his wedding and endure the cringy narration of Bruce Buffer. Then, it's more about reliving those fights than getting to know him and his journey right before that.
