A supercharged zimmer-frame

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2005)

I went into this film with zero expectations and came out absolutely satisfied. This is Rocky for the aged. It shows us that there is no age limit in following your dreams and it does it with style, grace and flair.
Roger Donaldson tells the story without allowing the directorial style to overshadow, what is, an inspiring story of one mans journey to become the fastest man on two, albeit, shaky, wheels.
Burt Monro's dogged determination and single minded obsession take him across the globe from Invercargill, New Zealand to Boneville, Utah, USA, where he takes on the clock and himself, but in this story it is not the destination that matters, it's the journey.
A first rate film and a tribute to it's star, Director, and above all, Burt Monro.
