It was worth the three year wait

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2004)

I enjoyed this film so much that I actually stopped work to watch it properly. Forget that Formula One was mixed up with god know's what and that SS was the only name I had heard of before. That the hero was a short sighted nerd unlikely to have ever been let loose and couldn't get or hold onto any of the thousands of women seemingly dying for him. It helped that I had seen a film on how they made the crash scene from the German Grand Prix as that was almost worth watching on its own. They announced that SS wrote the script but this did not appear on the IMDb and his character really wasn't that critical to the enjoyment. I remember seeing him filming at the Monaco GP but the only relevant footage seemed to be going through its tunnel whilst supposedly racing through downtown Chicago to get off with a $25,000 fine ? So MR fans just enjoy it for what it was 90 minutes of va va voom.
