A Major Disappointment

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

First moto doc that had me considering just how dangerous these machines, and what we do with them, really can be. A real tear-jerker. And what impressed me the most was the editing -- complimented by shots of crashes through P.O.V.'s and helicopter footage, (not too mention the vintage reels) -- you can't help but *feel* what you're experiencing as a viewer. Quite an achievement as documentary format goes, if you ask me. The story is beyond compelling, albeit slow at times. Proverbial celebrity-with-euro-accent- narration was in no way distracting or over the top. Liam fit right in with rest of the micks just fine. :)

There had been a Joey Dunlop documentary on BT Sports earlier this year, which had centred solely on Joey himself. This documentary expanded on the Dunlop family dynasty with brother Robert and his sons Michael and William who are both still active in the sport.You'll get most from this film if you're a road-race fan, MotoGp fan, biker or simply a fan of motor sports in general. It's the heartfelt and intensively emotional interviews with the family and friends of Joey and Robert that make this so engrossing just from the human interest element alone.The final crash footage towards the end of this documentary was so gut wrenchingly sad. The subsequent insistence of both sons to continue racing 2 days later was just mind-blowing.This is a real-life story that just holds your attention from start to finish.

Wow. What a film Drive is. I had heard of the Dunlop name many years ago but not being a road racing fan i never knew their story other than hearing Joey's name when i was a kid. This remarkable documentary tells the story of Brothers Joey and Robert , intermingled with footage of Robert's two sons and how road racing is their life . I can't imagine what makes these men play with their lives , road racing on these extremely dangerous machines but this film gives some sort of insight in to how dedicated these men were. Narrated by Liam Neeson with moving interviews from family and friends and some amazing race footage , this is one of the best films i have seen in a very long time.10 out of 10

I'm by no means a fan of bikes or road racing, but seeing the high reviews for this movie got me intrigued. I'm very glad I watched this doco, in one word, inspirational.It's been a while since a piece of film has moved me, and it's just the basics of human emotion and the revelation of the amazing spirit of the people in this film that speak a real, undeniable truth.Great story, great telling, amazing footage and wow, what an amazing family. They obviously live for this, and it shows through with raw emotion, honesty and moments that are genuine and heartfelt.The footage is spectacular, with some passage just having me shaking my head in disbelief. It's amazing what some people can push themselves to do.Do yourself a favour and watch this flick.
