Review of Takedown: The DNA of GSP (2014) by Alex R — 12 May 2014

Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter in the MMA, and he is the reigning champion of the sport. This stunning documentary looks at his career, his in popularity and his determination to win. Shot over a period of years, the film gives you an in depth look at his career, his life, the way he trains and the motivation win.

GSP is a rare breed of fighter, one that always seeks to improve upon his technique, and become the best at what he does. What Takedown gives us, is a look at one of his biggest rivalries, that of Nick Diaz, who we see taunting GSP throughout.

One thing that the film shows is how Georges St-Pierre makes a great comeback after tearing his ACL, and wining his fight against Carlos Condit and eventually defeating his rival Nick Diaz. St-Pierre is a phenomenal talent, an exciting fighter to watch and every fight he competes in is meticulous and his technique is flawless.

Takedown is a stunning documentary about one of the greatest athletes that has ever lived. The way the filmmakers chronicle the career of GSP is terrific, and it's a must watch for fans or anyone who wants to know more about, Georges St-Pierre.

Even if you're not a fan of the sport, I think Takedown merits a look because it's a superbly crafted documentary that showcases this exceptional fighter's talent and skill, and you walk away admiring him even more because not only is he the best, but he is one of the most down to earth guys.

We get both sides of GSP here, and the filmmakers accomplish that perfectly. Takedown ranks among the fi8nest examples of a sports documentary that I have seen.
