Good, but not great

Rating: 6/10 (6 April 2006)

Very good acting from Hopkins and the New Zealanders. Americans were too hammy I thought.
Thought they could have made a bit more of the story and I agree with another who posted here that the film should have given us more of an insight into Burt's love of machinery. You got the sense they were too afraid to go far into the nuts and bolts of the bike for fear of boring people but I think that was a mistake.
Do you get the sense I was disappointed? Well, yes. But I went in with quite high expectations for this film and when that happens I'm usually let down somewhat.
