MCT:November 15, 2008
A very professional documentary from a man named Christopher Bell, whose two brothers are both unrepentant steroid users. Bell talks with his brothers, but the majority of the movie is a Michael Moore style examination of a subject, except with less of a specific agenda. Bell does not buy into the demonization of steroids by the media, nor does he endorse their use. The result is a surprisingly un-biased look at its subject, which is rare among documentaries like this. Through his examination, the movie evolves from simply looking at drugs and begins to examine the underlying hypocrisies of a society which glorifies people like Arnold Schwarzenegger but demonizes what he used to get so ripped. Basicly, this is the documentary that Supersize Me wishes it was, it?s a wonderfully made examination of a subject which never takes the easy way out of an argument.

Excellent documentary covering all views of a controversial subject and really hits home with any male who grew up during the 80s in america.

MCT:November 1, 2008Chris Bell attacks the issue of performance enhancing drugs from all angles here: socially, politically, and physiologically. The strengths of the movie are twofold. The interviews with the big players at hand are candid and appalling and worth the recommendation alone. Secondly, Bell leaves no stone unturned, posing more questions than answering them. Like Michael Moore's approach to gun control in "Bowling for Columbine", "Bigger, Stronger, and Faster*" will question your perspective while it uncovers the bigger issues at hand. A big thumbs up to a documentary that is bigger, better, and deeper than just about any other documentary of 2008.

MCT:October 26, 2008I was surprised at how good this documentary was done. Chris didn't really push one side or the other on the arguement. I think what was enjoyable of the movie is that it was done by someone who was emotionally envolved with the subject.

Pretty good. Would have liked to see some more extreme cases of bodybuilding/strength athletes as this was all pretty mainstream.
