Review of Tyson (1995) by Jak-Luke S — 23 Jul 2017

Tyson had potential to be a rather good TV Movie and while Jai White looks spitting image of the titular character the film itself is plagued with issues. The script is atrocious, it's horrifyingly bad.

All Scott literally does is go on a tangent, stops with a pause and says something inspiring, rinse and repeat for the next forty minutes. Jai White plays Tyson as if he's mentally retarded or so incredibly dumb he can't understand anything.

He also plays the character in two separate fashions and not the psychological part you'd imagine, oh no. He plays him as innocent, then as a manic in the next scene and that sounds about right but it's pulled off so badly it feels like two distinct characters and with the limited acting capability he actually has its embarrassing to watch.
