...blew me away with it's surprisingly bizarre humour.
Anthony Hopkins shines in his (possibly) last good role, the performance is unforgettable! Nice to see him in a lighter and more funnier role for a change, not i.e. eating brains or mentoring some rookie agent with an iron fist.
Wouldn't expect this kind of "free-roaming" humour from a story which sounds very conservative and "righteous" on the paper. A real gem actually, I don't want to spoil the surprising story-elements of it.
The film follows the based-on-a-true-story-ish tale of one Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins), a Kiwi who want's to build the fastest Indian motorcycle in the world. Funny bits and trouble ensue. 3/4
