- The Most Exciting Motorcycle Roadracing Dramatic Movie Ever Made! April 7, 2008
J. A Gianatsis (Rockin' LA, CA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"High Speed" directed by Jeff Jensen, the best major motoion picture drama about motorcycle roadracing ever made, is now available for the first time on DVD [...]. It's a realistic Hollywood style romance drama set within the battle for the SBK World Superbike Championship which realisticaly portrays the riders, their girlfriends, the teams and families involved and the racing.
Originally filmed in 2002 at rounds of the SBK World Superbike Championship, High Speed was never released in theatres or on DVD because of legal and distribution issues. Staring in this romantic drama which centers on two best friends racing together in the Aprilia factory superbike team, was a then unknown beautiful young British actress named Sienna Miller who has since become a Hollywood superstar ("Layer Cake" "Factory Girl" "Casanova").
Filmed on location at the tracks and races of the SBK World Superbike Championship, High Speed stars beautiful Sienna Miller in an action packed, thrilling romance drama love triangle where her two boy friends are on the same factory team fighting for the SBK World Superbike Championship. As a sportbike enthusiast and Hollywood stunt director himself, Jensen delivers some of the most exciting on bike camera race action and crash scenes that have ever been created. Critics call High Speed one of the best motorsports movie dramas ever, comparable to the classics: "Grand Prix" staring James Garner, and "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen.
The story is about Raphael (Andrew Lee Potts) and Ruben (Paul Nichols) who are life long friends and team mates in the fast paced arena of World Superbike Racing. During a Championship race, Ruben crashes directly in front of Raphael who runs over his friend, paralyzing him for life. Could Raphel have avoided his best friend or was winning the most important thing? Raphael is suspended from racing by the FIM pending an investigation.
