Whenever we see a world leader, a legend, a hero, or even a very evil person, there is always a curiosity as to what made them the person they are. That is exactly why people like reading autobiographies of famous people. I think that is the angle this film was aiming for, which is not a bad approach at all. The three guys playing themselves have done a great job despite being armatures. Just knowing that to be a fact, made viewers entitled to judge and look for tell-tale signs. Not sure if this has been tried before, but unfortunately for this film it did not work in its favour. There are few areas for improvement, as expressed accurately in many of the other reviews. This is a story that needed to be told. Who knows, it may have turned out very good in the hands of a different director and different storytelling style.
