Review of Road

Road (I) (2014)
9/10
Totally enthralling.
21 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
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.
