Almost as engaging as the man himself.

Winning docu celebrates world's fastest man; mild cursing.

The trade-off for this access is a reverential attitude and no in-depth questions. It's a deal I found easy to accept, given the film's endearing footage of Bolt at work and play.

Bolt's golden era may be too recent and the sponsors too dominant for any real warts to be included, but his charm and sheer physical wonder make this a compelling watch regardless.

It's not the most probing doco, but the man himself, mobbed wherever he goes, emerges as a genuinely charismatic, likeable individual.

I Am Bolt teaches you nothing at all other than that he's a nice guy, and possibly the greatest track athlete of all time.
