This movie turned out to be a very good movie. It has become a work that has been greatly enjoyed by the audience. I think that the work was born because of the director's poor thinking. It turned out to be a movie that I liked very much. I would like to thank the director and actors.

Characters very honesty

This documentary presents the pervasive use of steroids in sports as an indication of the American obsession with winning at all costs. The Bell brothers have been sucked into the world of performance-enhancing drugs, thinking this is their ticket to realizing the American dream. Interviews with politicians, doctors, bodybuilders and coaches raise the question: Do the ends really justify the means? Because in the mad dash to win, an entire culture may be poised to lose.

An eye-opening, albeit sad story

A different take on steroids. I still don't get the appeal of looking that gross.

Chris Bell told an incredible and personal story and is a must see.

Why is the user score so low? This is a brilliant seminal documentary.

Very good movie. Very eye-opening and entertaining. My only complaint is that the theme wasn't conveyed very well. I couldn't tell the message. But, it was good. It reminded me of a Michael Moore movie, how he went and interviewed well-known people to convey his message

A surprisingly personal look at the use of steroids and the cultural impact of them within American society. A brilliant example of a documentary that has more to offer than stating facts. I expected something fairly by-the-book from this one and wasn't really expecting to become so engrossed in Chris Bell's personal life or his personality so it was a pleasant surprise when I did. I also didn't expect the film to offer much other than a 'steroids are bad' narrative but there's much more going on here. It raises questions about American culture, how we view our idols, self-confidence ,and many other things. Basically, the issue is treated with the complexity that it deserves and that is rare when we're talking about the use of illegal substances. I will say that the film felt a bit stretched out- it's close to the two hour mark and doesn't tread new ground throughout. Still, a minor complaint considering how fascinating this one was.

Chris Bell is an intriguing story teller.

A really interesting documentary on bodybuilding, steroids and strongman Mark Bell.

Feb 15, 2016

A documentary about the American pursuit for performance in sports and body-building taking as a starting point a personal story of an American family. The premise is good, the realisation not so much. The message of the film is unclear, after about half of the movie it watches like randomly assembled ramble of different arguments not forming a coherent picture. An interesting view on the sports culture in America, but not very well put together.

Feb 4, 2016

This documentary did not have a lot of depth. It took a very broad swing at how we view athletic entertainment, the standards we hold it to, and the hypocrisies of those standards. That is a tall order, and the varied sports it documents provides for only a surface level critique.
