Review of Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows (1998) by Philip S — 19 Jul 2007

An absolute must-see for anyone who has ever watched wrestling. This is as real as it gets. The doc crew hit the motherlode when Hart's world got turned upside down in front of them. For wrestling fans, this film documents the most pivotal moment in wrestling history - the business was never the same after this.

For non-fans, this is a great glimpse into the "real" behind the "pretend". The matches may be staged, but the lives of the participants are indeed affected by what happens in and out of the ring.
