Anthony Hopkins is brilliant in a truly magical film

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2006)

Anthony Hopkins is pretty much always brilliant but here he is brilliant and instantly lovable.
I found myself laughing alongside his character's every chuckle. And what a character! The film for me wasn't about Burt's attempt on the speed record, more how his determination and personality rub off on the people he meets. A wonderful character portrayed fantastically well by a great actor.
In summary its a light yet thoroughly enjoyable tale of perseverance in the face of adversity.
Watch it!
