| User ReviewToby STook a while to get a look at this one as it's not in production any more. The fateful story of Donald Campbell and Bluebird K7. Hopkins is splendid in the lead role. The acting, combined with the period feel (jeez I feel old now!) worked for me, conveying a compelling story without any cheesiness. Amazing what can be done WITHOUT CGI! If you have any interest in the man or the machine, this is worth checking out. |
