Leave your thoughts about The World's Fastest Indian.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneJeff StricklerThe inspiring true story The World's Fastest Indian should be mandatory viewing for anyone who has ever said, 'I'm getting too old for this.' |
| Supercala.comJohn VenableDoesn't attempt to cram a ray of sunshine up your keister and manages to tell a truly inspiring story nonetheless. Hopkins is great. |
| Entertainment InsidersJonathan W. HickmanHopkins' performance seems to embody the heart and sole of the man, the character, and the legend. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerLike The Straight Story, only faster - this is an enjoyable, heartwarming feel-good drama with a terrific performance from Hopkins. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperAnthony Hopkins plays a New Zealander grease monkey who soups up an obsolete motorcycle to make it a contender for land speed records. By rights this film should not work, but Hopkins and Kiwi charm pull it off. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe cockeyed devotion with which writer-director Roger Donaldson dramatizes the story of New Zealand motorcycle legend Burt Munro and his classic 1920 bike in The World's Fastest Indian is in direct proportion to the cockeyed devotion with which Munro himself pursued his lifetime goal of setting a land-speed record at Bonneville Flats, Utah. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxRarely do movies portray the elderly with such admiration and respect. |
| E! OnlineE! StaffThe film has a congenial but simplistic tone, but Hopkins is a pro and plays Munro as a go-getter, willing to risk life and limb. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperFar too predictable and far too many colorful supporting characters. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesYou should set your own land speed record to see this crowd-pleaser of a production. |
