Narrated by Liam Neeson, this is the dramatic and poignant story of two sets of brothers from Northern Ireland who have dominated road racing for over thirty years. Two generations of one family that have been united by success. And united by tragedy.
Verdict: Overlong motorbike documentary.
Well – an arresting story.
There are occasions during Road in which viewers may feel they are intruding on private grief.
Less adventurous stylistically than other motorsport docs, maybe, but more heartfelt thanks to a spine of bittersweet first-person testimony and the sensory eloquence of the Dunlops in motion.
A fascinating insight into road racing's first family.
Liam Neeson's overblown voiceover spoils this dramatic documentary about a road racing clan.
