Lots of subtext ....
I like the "slow burn" of this movie. Lots of moments where we watch what's happening on the actors faces and figure out what is going through their minds rather than lots of machine gun dialog. Lot's of the story seems to happen in your head, rather than in the screen. My guess is the script for this movie was relatively short. The screenplay however was probably quite indepth. Seemed very realistic as well.
In a lot of ways this movie reminded me of Lemans. Although this had much more of a tangible storyline, and Lemans was more of a music video, rather thany a story.
The one thing I disliked about it (and this is typical of Reford movies) was all the lovey-dovey stuff. Added little to the story, other than a distraction.
All in all a good movie. I like older movies like this that sort of become accidental scrapbooks for the sport. Fun movie.
