Racing Colt

We really enjoyed this film. The main character is so beautifully written and played that you simultaneously love him and hate him. All the other characters are truthfully and deeply realised too, which makes the film a pleasure to watch. We've all heard rumours about the "dark side of fame", and here you can witness that writ large. Great entertainment.

Racing Colt brings the comedy and the drama in it's portrayal of an ageing has-been star. He is sometimes both sympathetic and frustrating which makes the character feel complex and believable. It is a very relatable and moving story and it has to be seen especially if you love moves about the entertainment business.

David Atkinson really shines as this ageing movie star. It's hillarious, brilliantly acted and really takes you on a ride. I felt similar when watching Birdman which I enjoyed tremendoulsy, therefore really happy to have found this indie gem with a similar sense of humour.

The rest of the cast is definitely great as well, the story well scripted and directed, all in all, definitely worth watching!

"Racing Colt" is a very gripping story of a washed up action hero who gets a second chance to star in a major film years after his popularity has waned. Eerily similar to Kristofferson in appearance and mannerisms, the lead actor David Atkinson takes the complex character of Colt Racer and runs with it. Well shot and directed and well worth your time.

This thoroughly entertaining film is a fascinating exploration of a once revered man in decline, relaying his story with wit and pathos. At turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, RACING COLT deftly balances comedy and drama and is consistently absorbing. Guided along by impressively surefooted direction, the writing and performances present fully realized characters who are compelling because they're so identifiable. The film is a shot to the heart, and I highly recommend it.
