Featured review
To those of you complaining that this picture isn't this or it doesn't do that ... IT'S JUST A MOVIE.
I am a NASCAR fan, though not an Earnhardt fan. I enjoyed the movie and thought it offered a little insight into what made Dale Earnhardt tick - from his relationship with his father and failed loves to the relationship with his own children.
Barry Pepper did an admirable job portraying Earnhardt. Kudos to him.
The film gave you the basic story andn did as well as it could in two hours. Hey, that's a lot of ground to cover!
As far as footage not being shot at every track, again - it's a movie!
There are far worse things on TV today, like Survivor and all that reality dreck. This was entertaining.
I would have liked more of a look at the behind-the-scenes stuff at the tracks, such as how The Intimidator interacted with other drivers.
How about 3 II!
