    One of the best motorcycling films but terribly downbeat

    This film is even more tragic given the current state of the Dunlop family and is almost the darkside of what the TT film presented.

    The TT film actually gave the impression of that buzz they were all chasing whereas this gives the impression that it's simply the Dunlop fate to race until inevitable doom. I'm sure they were all chasing that feeling to the point of addiction, but the frenetic delivery of Guy Martin, which actually half makes you think doing 180 between lamp posts could be fun is the polar opposite of the Dunlops where it seems to be the only way of life.

    I found the TT film to be quite uplifting but this is one of the most depressing films I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, it's gripping stuff, even if you've grown up watching stuff like V-four Victory on VHS and already know a lot. Just get the hankies ready.

    If you've ever ridden a motorbike: watch it. I've you've never ridden one: watch it!

    An insight into a unique and death defying sport. There's nothing else quite like it. Formula 1, MotoGP? Nope. These boys are made of serious stuff. This film made me laugh and it made me cry: out of sadness and also out of joy. Poignant moments abound. Unforgettable.

    Tribute to a great racing family

    A very decent attempt by the director on the life of the Dunlop brothers. Excellent choice of adding Liam Neeson's voice as the story teller which is captivating. The films has some real footage of the racers and their talents. Watch it for the sheer exemplary and the sacrifice of this family has made towards street and professional motorcycle racing. They need an applause. The movies focuses mainly on joey and his brother Robert dun-lop. The movie tells us how dangerous the sport of road racing and the consequences it puts on the rider and his family. There's a great amount of reality in the movie because its based on a true life story of a person. Overall a great movie to watch if you are into motorcycle racing and a being a rider.

    unexpectedly visceral

    First moto doc that had me considering just how dangerous these machines, and what we do with them, really can be.

    A real tear-jerker. And what impressed me the most was the editing -- complimented by shots of crashes through P.O.V.'s and helicopter footage, (not too mention the vintage reels) -- you can't help but *feel* what you're experiencing as a viewer. Quite an achievement as documentary format goes, if you ask me.

    The story is beyond compelling, albeit slow at times. Proverbial celebrity-with-euro-accent- narration was in no way distracting or over the top. Liam fit right in with rest of the micks just fine. :)

    Amazing and Inspirational...

    I'm by no means a fan of bikes or road racing, but seeing the high reviews for this movie got me intrigued. I'm very glad I watched this doco, in one word, inspirational.

    It's been a while since a piece of film has moved me, and it's just the basics of human emotion and the revelation of the amazing spirit of the people in this film that speak a real, undeniable truth.

    Great story, great telling, amazing footage and wow, what an amazing family. They obviously live for this, and it shows through with raw emotion, honesty and moments that are genuine and heartfelt.

    The footage is spectacular, with some passage just having me shaking my head in disbelief. It's amazing what some people can push themselves to do.

    Do yourself a favour and watch this flick.
