A Gem of a Movie

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2006)

Hello Moviegoers, Man, I just saw a perfect movie. At the Palm Theatre, of course. Anthony Hopkins in The World's Fastest Indian. This is the true story of a cranky seventy year old guy who takes his souped up 1920 Indian Scout to the Bonneville salt flats in 1967 to set a world speed record that stands to this day.
Okay, it's a motorcycle movie. But it's also a great story about a rare human being on a remarkable journey with enormous heart and major twinkle.
This is a movie that works on both levels, the male and the female, your yin and your yang. Crusty shade tree mechanic takes practically homebuilt machine to global speed venue and kicks ass. And. Here's this old coot who loves motorcycles and women, but not necessarily in that order, makin' all his dreams come true.
Anthony Hopkins may be the greatest actor alive just now. DO NOT fail to see him in The World's Fastest Indian at the Palm Theatre.
