World's Fastest Indian uplifting, inspiring &c and without glutinous sentimentality in the American mode. Especially liked the way the story was presented as a straight narrative, no explanatory flashbacks or dissolves to clear things up for dumbo audience. Instead, the back story was filled in by passing references in the narrative present, with the only visual glimpse of past events provided by the photo album that appeared briefly at the beginning of the film. Anthony Hopkins thoroughly convincing Kiwi bloke, even if his newzuld accent did sound a little Cornish. Tim Shadbolt must have had a top agent, as his leering visage seemed to pop up in every other scene until Burt left NZ.
