    Storyline

    Edit
    Brothers addicted to speed. At any price. Motorcycle road racing is the most dangerous of all motor sports. One in which men compete at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour on closed country roads. Roads that are lined with trees, telegraph posts, stone walls. Ireland and the Isle of Man are two of the few places in the world where the sport still survives. 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. —Anonymous

    Tribute to a great racing family
    A very decent attempt by the director on the life of the Dunlop brothers. Excellent choice of adding Liam Neeson's voice as the story teller which is captivating. The films has some real footage of the racers and their talents. Watch it for the sheer exemplary and the sacrifice of this family has made towards street and professional motorcycle racing. They need an applause. The movies focuses mainly on joey and his brother Robert dun-lop. The movie tells us how dangerous the sport of road racing and the consequences it puts on the rider and his family. There's a great amount of reality in the movie because its based on a true life story of a person. Overall a great movie to watch if you are into motorcycle racing and a being a rider.
