Hopkins gives a knockout performance!

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2006)

Forget Hannibal Lector. Anthony Hopkins playing Burt Munro becomes the character. He is crusty but lovable. Hopkins and the rest of the cast take us on a road trip spanning New Zealand to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah and the audience can experience the entire ride and the intriguing characters that we meet along the way.
This is a movie of one man's passion and his quest for immortality. Think of Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea" but with lots of characters.
The writing is so good that there is not a dull minute in the film. The cinematography and the music score add to the experience.
Its too bad that the movie is scheduled for limited release. It will truly be an enormous crowd pleaser. Don't miss it!.
