The Pacing Was Like An Engine Misfiring

(Flash Review)

This documentary attempted to encapsulate the professional career of Carroll Shelby; the automotive racing icon. Splicing together some genuine racing footage, some talking heads and pictures, the film covered a lot of information. The trouble for me is the pacing jumped around abruptly and unevenly and never gave me an inspirational feel for his career and life. It was also formulaic and didn't take any creative approaches. Informative, yes; entertaining, not so much.

Worth it for the topic

OK. So it's not great documentary making. No soul, flat presentation and leaves you asking questions all the way through.

But the subject matter is greatly interesting and it give it 10 for the content, 6 for the making and so even it out at 8.

I was entertained all the way - no skipping.
