Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Jackson Booth-Millard I saw the interview with the star of Chopper, Hulk and Troy on Top Gear where they mentioned this film, it did sound relatively interesting, and it was the actor's directorial debut, so I thought I'd see it. Basically this documentary sees Eric Bana talking about his relationship with his favourite car of all time, his Beast, and the car he hopes to race in The Targa Tasmania Rally, his Ford GT Falcon Coupe. He explains it is the car he saw in the film Mad Max and he has owned it for twenty-five years, and for all those years he has done everything he can both to keep it going, but also turn it into a proper racing car. He believes, and Jeremy Clarkson confirms with him, that most people think of cars as just something to help you travel, but they both believe that they are like living beings. Jay Leno also expresses his interest in cars with his garage of hundreds of old and new models and how much each one means to him, and he would never get rid of one. Bana also wonders if his car has a significance to his life, and Dr. Phil McGraw knows that if you have a passion for something you want to keep it going and never give up until you get some kind of result. So we see flashes of Bana's past with his love for fast cars, getting his Beast, the preparations for the race, and of course the race itself, which has a bad result when he accidentally crashes into a tree. It is interesting to see how passionate you can be about the most inanimate things, but at the same time, you can relate, I mean, there must be something unlikely in your life that means something to you. Worth watching!

RobertHolik I'm getting pretty fed up with people saying that this movie is for "car lovers only" because it's simply not true. This movie is for many people, collectors, Eric Bana fans, people who have a passion and want to see other people's passions etc.It's a movie about racing and cars, about Eric Bana's car that has been a part of his life for a very long time, that right there is so beautiful to see. Eric Bana's relationship to his car is amazing, you would have to see it to believe it. And people who don't understand the love for cars will truly get a different opinion after seeing this film because it will grow on you, you will see how much something made out of tin parts (and then some) can become such passion and such love because of how long it will stick with you.And to Eric Bana fans, if you love Eric Bana like I have, you HAVE TO see this movie. To me, Eric Bana is very much like his car is to him, I've grown up with Eric Bana and his movies and seen him grow as an actor, it feels as if he's my friend as with a couple of different actors. And if you really almost feel like he's family, you will have the same feelings as he does for his cars when you see how heartbreaking some scenes in this movie are. You will also see Eric Bana before a big movie premiere of his movie "Lucky You", it's a very rare glimpse into his life and how he feels before going to a premiere, it's quite cool and you'll see how awesome and down to earth he truly seems.But do keep in mind that this is a documentary, it is mostly for car lovers, true, but it can still grow on you, because let's face it, it's not all just cars.8/10

Nick Grenfell I just saw this today 1/3/10 and loved each and every second of it.It seems that Mr. Bana and I have similar tastes in our love of cars. His a Falcon (what we in the U.S. looks to be a Ford Torino) and mine a Dodge Charger. We both love our cars in a way that is hard to understand by someone who is not a serious gear head.The documentary shows a love of cars by Mr. Bana and his friends growing up that had the same appreciation of the automobileSeeing this film makes me appreciate my love of muscle cars that much better.The documentary contains an insightful cameo by TV host, Jay Leno. An annoying one by BBC Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson and something in-between by Dr. Phil McGraw.

BACK ROW This is what a camera is for, it is for capturing a story of love, spirit, tension, Passion and all the beautiful things that make us unique as Humans.I think everyone will get something positive from this film even if they are not lovers of cars, because it is about connection with yourself and your world.It evokes all kinds of feelings and therein lies it's magic.It reminds us that we are not alone in this world. That our close friends are important for life. That our silly love for the smallest material object is not silly,it is important, and a dear part of us.I can't say enough My heart and spirit are uplifted.The Imperfection is the Real Beauty we possess as Humans, the very thing that our new Digital World is robbing us of.The Human SpiritEric Bana Peace to your soul manYou are living The Dream, and thanks for sharing it with us.
