I had never heard about this movie until A friend brought a copy to me knowing I have ridden motorcycles my whole life. However it doesn't matter if you like, or dislike motorcycles,(like my wife),this movie isn't really about motorcycles, but the story of a man ,(portrayed by Anthony Hopkins), and his dream to run his motorcycle at the Bonniville salt flats in America.The movie was very well written and, Hopkins' performance as "Burt Munro" from New Zealand is of Oscar quality. When you watch it make sure you won't be interrupted at all. It grips you right from the beginning,(gently),but holds on to you tightly right to the very end, without losing it's grip for a second. If you could only see one "feel good' movie this year I strongly urge you to choose this one.
