Watch Takedown: The DNA of GSP For Free

Wow! Such a good movie.

Don't Believe the Hype

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

As a big fan of MMA, I really enjoyed this. It was interesting seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff during his ACL injury and while Diaz was running his mouth when Georges was hurt. Since hindsight is 20/20, it would have been a much more complete film if they followed Georges through the lead up to his very controversial decision win over Johnny Hendricks, which (amoung other reasons) lead to George's "retirement". Also, in my opinion, Nick Diaz is not that bad of a guy, he just uses his antics to try and mentally dominate his opponent. This film made Nick Diaz look like the biggest POS ever. I also found it very interesting when GSP commented on Condits decision win over Diaz, and that Diaz was "robbed". You never really heard critical comments like that out of Georges, so it was cool seeing his other side when he is not speaking to official media. Excellent MMA Documentary!

Saw this film at the Shanghai International Film Festival and loved it. I didn't know much about GSP nor am I an UFC fan, but I thought the film was really well produced and was able to mix animation, UFC paper-view footage, and doco/interview footage really well.I think the subject of having a very soft, kind person like GSP who is one of the best mixed martial arts fighter and brutal in the ring is a great contrast and great concept for a film. Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Pumped, you really get to understand how such a physical sport is not only won by physicality but by the ability to mentally overcome your component.Definitely worth watching!

What makes a champion when it come's to fighting is will, heart and determination and GSP got them all, a true martial artist and i really hope he come back soon!! GSP was blamed to be boring and so forth but he was super smart and technical as h**l and customize his fighting for each of his opponents and that is one reason why he kept the belt so long! He had a tough upbringing when it comes to being bullied and that is something i can relate to, it gives you that extra motivation to strive and in many cases it can make you very humble and kind cause you felt pain and humiliation so you turn it around and says hey, this is not something that i could do to a fellow human being cause the pain and strive to come back from it is really hard and the scars never go away. it takes strenght to become a good human after such a painful experience and martial arts can really help and give you back some confidence, it did for GSP and me. GSP is a true inspiration and a legend! GSP for president i say! Will always love him for who he is and what he has accomplished! OSU

This is an incredible view into the making and life of a world champion. GSP is probably the best known Canadian in the world today, so it is very instructive to be able to follow his path and career. The director has carefully fused together information from the past, interviews with team members and trainers together with close up footage of actual fights. I have always been fascinated by why people succeed. When you dig down you find tremendous discipline and hard work. This is the case with GSP, everyone interviewed said the same thing. In the tradition of martial arts, one must have great respect for one's opponent, and I think this is a key feature of GSP's success. Unlike others who spend every waking moment trash talking their opponents, GSP just concentrates on the battle ahead, which is all that counts.
