Sly talks about surviving and life, even if it's really bad. That's nothing new, he already did it in Rocky and Rambo, but here it's given context by his friends, family and a few others. The documentary is not lacking in interesting facts that some people know and some don't. I didn't know that the final monologue from the first Rambo – "Where the fuck are my feet?" – was written by Stallone. It's stilted and avoids major controversial topics, but it packs a punch and moves along quickly. A documentary full of doubt, even philosophising. It even has minor plot arcs like forgiving his father and moving out of the house. It was very good to watch. ()
