Macho: The Hector Camacho Story (2020)
A Meteor
14 January 2021 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Hector Camacho was a larger than life character -- a boxer, but also a showman, an entertainer, a humanist, a loving family man, an electric personality who emerged on the scene like an uppercut to the jaw, and kept on sizzling until it all collapsed, just like a meteor hitting the atmosphere.
I was entranced watching this exceptional bio doc. Camacho's rise and fall are portrayed with honesty and empathy, never judgemental but always focused on the man -- the kid -- beneath the glitz and glamour, and the drugs and the thugs.
The ending, which I will not reveal, was like a punch to the gut; I didn't see it coming, and I doubt any other viewers will, either.
Heartily recommended, even if you have no interest in boxing.
