    Racing Documentary Done Right!

    Let me start by saying, this is an absolutely wonderful film about a truly exceptional family. It's hardly perfect, but a beautiful tribute non-the-less. It starts off exciting, drags a little in the middle, and the last half hour becomes truly epic. In comparison to a film like Senna (which I truly love in almost every respect) it won't have the flair or fast paced manner, however, the subject matter here is so much more dangerous, and in some ways more exciting. There is tragedy within the film, but there is so much more. It feels a little too lengthy but I promise the payout is there in the end. If you're not moved by the end then you have no soul. Please enjoy and spread the word, its worthwhile.

    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.

    Wow

    Wow. What a film Drive is. I had heard of the Dunlop name many years ago but not being a road racing fan i never knew their story other than hearing Joey's name when i was a kid. This remarkable documentary tells the story of Brothers Joey and Robert , intermingled with footage of Robert's two sons and how road racing is their life . I can't imagine what makes these men play with their lives , road racing on these extremely dangerous machines but this film gives some sort of insight in to how dedicated these men were. Narrated by Liam Neeson with moving interviews from family and friends and some amazing race footage , this is one of the best films i have seen in a very long time.

    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.

    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. :)
