| Canada.comJay StoneIt's somewhere between a televised UFC match and someone's idea of a deep metaphorical look at man's instincts. |
| User ReviewKris B"My adversary completes me. To disrespect him is to disrespect myself. Thanks to his presence, I am a true Martial Artist. Thanks to his willingness to face, my life takes shape, my path evolves" - GSP |
| User ReviewNick CAside from the movie's association to MMA/UFC, the exploration into one's experience and unique will to achieve success is extremely intriguing. |
| User ReviewChris RInteresting guy. His approach to his work and his sportsmanship are something all athletes should emulate. Then again, sports needs heroes and villains and they're easy to identify in this film. For the next chapter, less wolves please. |
| User ReviewDave JTuesday, May 27, 2014 (2014) Takedown: The DNA of GSP DOCUMENTARY This is strictly for fans of the sport of UFC or MMA which details MMA fighter Georges St-Pierre as we get to see from his point of view of the matches he loses as oppose to the matches he wins. Watching this is like watching the Mike Tyson documentary. Quite insightful and interesting to say the least and that the only downside is that I'd like to hear more about his matches. 3 out of 4 stars |
| User ReviewAlex rGeorges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter in the MMA, and he is the reigning champion of the sport. This stunning documentary looks at his career, his in popularity and his determination to win. Shot over a period of years, the film gives you an in depth look at his career, his life, the way he trains and the motivation win. GSP is a rare breed of fighter, one that always seeks to improve upon his technique, and become the best at what he does. What Takedown gives us, is a look at one of his biggest rivalries, that of Nick Diaz, who we see taunting GSP throughout. One thing that the film shows is how Georges St-Pierre makes a great comeback after tearing his ACL, and wining his fight against Carlos Condit and eventually defeating his rival Nick Diaz. St-Pierre is a phenomenal talent, an exciting fighter to watch and every fight he competes in is meticulous and his technique is flawless. Takedown is a stunning documentary about one of the greatest athletes that has ever lived. The way the filmmakers chronicle the career of GSP is terrific, and it's a must watch for fans or anyone who wants to know more about, Georges St-Pierre. Even if you're not a fan of the sport, I think Takedown merits a look because it's a superbly crafted documentary that showcases this exceptional fighter's talent and skill, and you walk away admiring him even more because not only is he the best, but he is one of the most down to earth guys. We get both sides of GSP here, and the filmmakers accomplish that perfectly. Takedown ranks among the fi8nest examples of a sports documentary that I have seen. |
| User ReviewRob AI love how honest and down to earth GSP remains. This film is a very refreshing look at a megastar with no ego, just the passion to be the best. Very well done. |
| User ReviewBrad SThis is a really interesting documentary on GSP and what it takes to be a champion. The bulk of the film centers on his recovery a preparation for his rematch with Nick Diaz. It's well made and a fascinating look into the life of a Champion MMA fighter. Recommended! |
