A great documentary. It should be required viewing for any fan of MMA. The director does a great job of juxtaposing the highs and lows and showcasing the multifaceted personality and decisions of Evan Tanner. He seemed like a truly unique individual and while this film shows the highs and how great he could be, it is equally adept at showing the lows. I think the scenes where they are talking about the boat and all that happened in that situation, is really indicative of his personality. Overconfident at times and underinformed with things that really require alot of technical expertise and proper prior planning, Evan Tanner seemed like someone who would throw himself into things that he had a passion for and try to just mash through them, and for some things in life, that just won’t work. Fortunately for him, it did work in the fight game…until it didn’t. And unfortunately for him, the desert is no place to f around and not be completely prepared for. But with that said, a great film and a great documentary about his life and death.
