Excellent documentary! Packed filled with information, visual charts, graphs and aids, and it's overflowing with hilarious stock footage. More stock footage than I've ever seen. They said there was something like 300 hours of footage they cut down to 2 hours and 2 minutes.
On the outside, it's a documentary about steroids. Look a little closer and it's about all sorts of drugs in all sorts of sports and actually all aspects of American life. Look a little closer and the film really hits home on the "side effects" of American culture. The 3 subjects chosen are effects of 80's "manly" American pop culture.. Guys like Rocky and Rambo, Terminator, Conan and Commando. And the ever-American Hulk Hogan!
I watched this with my mother. She hates all the muscles and the lifting and the wrestling, but no one can deny that this movie is an extremely interesting documentary. It asks some serious questions and brings up some serious thoughts for discussion.
