Charming film

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2007)

I really enjoyed this film. Anthony Hopkins is one of my favourite actors, I thought he played this part brilliantly. I couldn't say if his accent was 100% accurate or not, but then I don't think that is very important. The character he plays is totally convincing, a somewhat lovable eccentric, who devotes his time to building and perfecting this Indian "motorsiccle" (as he calls it). Part of the enjoyment is seeing him meeting various people along the way, some who want to help him, others who want to make things difficult. But he overcomes them with his Invercargill charms. How he fares with the racing I shall leave for you to find out. The ending is very simple and moving. A very good film and definitely worth seeing.
