A very by-the-numbers summary of life in the spotlight for Bo Jackson. Though we get a few short sound bites from friends and teammates who knew him before he became a marketing slogan, the vast majority of this short film is spent breathlessly recounting his greatest hits in MLB and the NFL. There's plenty of material; Bo was truly one-of-a-kind and though his career flickered out early, for a short while it burned brighter than a supernova. I just kept waiting for something more than a long-form highlight reel, and evidently that wasn't the purpose of this exercise.
An enjoyable trip down memory lane for anyone caught in Bo's thrall in the early '90s, it's not particularly intimate or revealing.
