JLD Posted 23August, 2020 Report Share Posted 23August, 2020 Is it only on Foxtel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dav Posted 23August, 2020 Report Share Posted 23August, 2020 It's not on any streaming service in Australia except the Foxtel one AFAIK. I've had a look at it and 4/10 is being generous! Don't get me started on the Brabham "documentary" currently on Stan. This is an absolute shocker seemingly put together by someone proficient on Tik Tok because it's 90 minutes of 10 second grabs that are mostly unrelated. Really terrible in execution and editing and you have to fight the urge to turn it off after 30 minutes. Having read and owning copies of "The Jack Brabham Story" and "Brabham-Ralt-Honda The Ron Tauranac Story" it is a real opportunity missed and gives no insights whatsoever. 2/10 for that one.

Rob H Posted 23August, 2020 Report Share Posted 23August, 2020 I went and saw it with a friend who is not into cars. It was his suggestion and he loved it including the "racing" scenes. Typical Hollywood crap. It could have been so good. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as YouTube with these halfwits who think they're going to be a famous car tester, when all they've done is borrowed someones car to thrash to give their 'experienced' view in why you should/shouldn't buy one. Don't get me started on bloody podcasts! 😡 (Sorry, bored out of my mind and just having a sook) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reckoned it was a great movie but I said it was historically inaccurate and another Hollywood take on an American hero story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9er Posted 23August, 2020 Report Share Posted 23August, 2020 How is it that as an Englishman, Christian Bales' acting roles where he speaks with an American accent are more convincing? LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually a fan of Bale's acting, but not this time. That was a big part of why I was disappointed with it, as he seemed to be overacting. He's got a pretty strong London accent too hasn't he? I only found out he's a pom when I saw an interview with him last year. Same as Mulder from X Files. I was gobsmacked at her accent on Top Gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
