Thanks to Robert Duvall

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2004)

A fair race movie with a winning performance by Robert Duvall.
Kidmann is not believable as Cruise's Doctor, their are major continuity flaws in the race scenes, but Duvall's performance as a caring Builder and Pit Crew boss give the movie an endearing quality. And Cruise looks ridiculous on a Harley, even with a low seat and pull back bars, he can barely reach the controls or the ground. A Honda Rebel would have been more appropriate.
As Driven is the all time worst race movie, watching Days Of Thunder after Driven will make Cruise and company seem much better than watching "Days" after a Classic like Grand Prix.
Hey it could be a lot worse. Imagine this flick with the Baldwin brothers. UGH !
