Simon T @MovieTart 07/14/2017 Even if you have zero interest in motorbikes this is a thrilling documentary. Very well edited and with some excellent 3D photography, it follows bonkers motor mechanic Guy Martin in his dream to win the 2010 Isle of Man TT race, notorious for the number of fatalities each year. If you enjoyed Senna you'll love this.

The tournament is presented as a joyful, life-affirming experience, not despite death being around each dangerous, life-threatening corner but even more so because of it. It's an overall interesting doc, not aimed exclusively at bike enthusiasts and with a bunch of fascinating moments being the icing on the cake.

It lacked the exhilaration and intensity of what it's like watching this race, it didn't delve enough into the history, especially of the motorbikes being used, and lacked showing of the deeper background of many of the racers. It had it's moments, showing some of the emotional feelings of the racers and their families after many die in this dangerous race but overall I was disappointed and thought this doc was put together kind of messily.
