The opening scenes of 'Tiger' foreshadow the direction the filmmakers intend to take this "documentary", and that it's not going to pretty.
The "witnesses" willing to tell-all include Tiger's high school girl friend. Just the thought of using an adolescent relationship as a key testimony to defining the "real" essence of someone and those around them (eg. Tiger's father Earl) is flat out creepy.
I'm guessing the "high school girlfriend" was well compensated, as were the others who agreed to be part of this. One acts downright ashamed to be apart of this fiasco.
These types of snapshots are interspersed with video clips that most of us have seen and can be found on YouTube.
Tiger's longtime agent Mark Steinberg flat out dismisses the film - "Just like the book it is based off of, the upcoming HBO documentary is just another unauthorized and salacious outsider attempt to paint an incomplete portrait of one of the greatest athletes of all-time."
Although many will say "of course he says that", one cannot shake the sketchy atmosphere of the film, that is supported by a cast of characters willing to cash-in... Exploitive, unimaginative docu-b/s is what we get.
I don't ever endorse these types of films, and this one offers nothing new that we didn't already know.
I'm sure they made a hefty profit as production costs HAD to be negligible - most of the cost was likely book rights and witness payoffs. That is too bad as it will only encourage more of these types of docu-trash-films - Just what we all need after one Hell of a crazy year.
Yes, I will see Part 2 as they roll out their big guns of botox injected eyewitness bimbos, and I will update my review then.
As it stands now...
