The World's Fastest Indian (2005) - 127 min

Country: New Zealand
Director: Roger Donaldson
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Diane Ladd, Jessica Cauffiel & Christopher Lawford.
In 1967, 67-year-old Burt Munro decides to travel to Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to fulfill his lifelong dream. The dream is to test his beloved 1920s Twin Scout Indian motorcycle's capabilities of how much speed it can go.
It's a biographical sports movie that tells the real-life story of Burt Munro, a speed bike racer from Newzealand. Age is just a number for some people and Burt Munro is one of them. The enthusiastic nature of Burt Munro spreads positive effect on others and that's the main advantage of enthusiastic people. There is nothing to talk about the performance, Anthony Hopkins the name is enough to watch this movie and he is just mesmerizing to watch. He referred the role as the best thing he ever did and the kiwi accent of Hopkins was right on. Filmed in New Zealand and Utah, The World's Fastest Indian manages to bring the feeling of 1967 period. Overall, It's a feel-good movie that does what it sets out to do and learned some interesting facts about riding.
Verdict: Good
