I generally steer clear of most biopics due to the staging of "special" moments, ripe with poignant dialogue and meaningful looks into the distance. In truth, life just isn't like that. It doesn't serve up the momentous on cue. The important and life altering moments often drift by, not recognised until much later. Having said that, this film has more than its share of these moments, but it's still an enjoyable and well told story. The leads are good and the narrative compelling. The racing action is gripping and while there are a number of stereotypes in the supporting cast, it's still well worth the money to see it.
