It was a pretty good movie, but Im not sure if I believe that guy when he says he made the movie without bias. I reccomend the movie to everyone, but Ill also point out some flaws:
1. When the side effects of roids are discussed, high estrogen wasn't even mentioned. Come on!
2. It barely touched on oral steriods.
3. These muscley guys kept talking about how they should have had the life of Arnold. Arnolds first handful of movies were all flops. He had a starlike charisma and unstoppable work ethic outside of bodybuilding that got him where he is. In fact, he was genetically gifted for it too. His personality, German coldness, and exotic accent made him what he is. Nobody whants to see Valentino blow **** up with his Jersey accent.
4. They kept cutting to young Stallone when talking about roids. He was 62 when he was caught with 2 antiageing medicines, and we still have no proof that young early Rocky was on anything.
5. He compaired EPO use to sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber or training in the mountains. The last two are real life sacrifices and pretty much part of the hard work. When your trainer gives you a free drug, not so much.
6. Their was this a section when it talked about steroids used in medicine, and it just sort of paved over the fact that just because something has medicinal purposes, dosen't neccasarily make it good for you.
7. I have trouble beleiving the movie is as unscripted as he whant's us to believe. I mean after those interviews, some of his family members could have really gotten raped in life after this came out.
