It would be interesting to watch but I may wait until it's on the £3 sale shelf in the supermarket.

He lied and cheated and discraced himself.
Why pay a tenner to be told that all over again?

Saw it at the cinema earlier in the week. Thought it was interesting and a good film, maybe a bit too long though.

If it was being shown on a giant screen in my back garden, I would get up and close the curtains

I am appalled, so many people believed in him and he has let them all down. The worst thing is, after admitting that he doped he seems to think that all is now ok, he admitted it so that is fine , life goes on. He is so arrogant that he believes that all is now ok so what is all the fuss about. 
Ignore the gripers above, this is definitely worth two hours of anyone's life although I got ahead of the pack and sorted out two free tickets from the Sunday Times and saw it a week before release.
For the cycling scenes on the big screen alone, it is well worth the cost and effort. There is one particular scene where a rider in the peloton (never explained who - but that doesn't matter) wears a head cam and you get to see just what it's like within the pack as he drops back, collects water then zooms up through the massed ranks of fellow professionals taking what seem to us mortals as incredible chances but to the riders, meh, no big deal! The pre and post-revelations Lance demeanour is the essence of the film and answers any questions about him that you might have.

Its unlucky for Armstrong that no one else in that era took drugs and lied about it until they were caught. 
Life goes on and he will be in the history books as a cheat along with dozens of others.
