WORLD'S FASTEST INDIAN, THE
starstarstarstar
Based on the unlikely career of elderly New Zealander Burt Munro, who, well into his 60s, set a new world land-speed record astride his scrappy 1920 v-twin Indian Scout motorcycle, this warm and entertaining film is a surefire solution to a perennial problem: Aren't there any movies for older folks? Anthony Hopkins is engagingly low-key as Burt, a codger with incipient deafness, an enlarged prostrate and hardening arteries who won't be dissuaded from fulfilling a 25-year-old dream: to set a new record on the open salt flats of Bonneville, Utah, where record-breaking speed trials are held.
