The scenes are fucking fantastic.
The acting is so good.
And even the fight scenes, they're so realistic, man.
It's really like they, I saw all those fights.
They've recreated those fights about as good as you can get.
And just his crazy struggle.
And you know the story behind the documentary, The Smashing Machine?
So the smashing machine was made when Mark was at the height of his powers and pride.
And he was the most terrifying guy in the world.
He was 265 pounds of solid muscle just blowing through people.
Didn't even look like a human being.
Everyone was terrified of him.
No one knew he was a drug addict.
No one knew, and he spiraled out as they were filming, and he let them film him.
Let them film him shooting up.
Let them film him bringing this giant bag of pills with him and all this shit everywhere and just completely falling apart.
While they were supposed to be capturing this hero movie of the greatest fighter in the world, he's falling apart live in front of the documentary.
