Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Dreadfully Boring

Absolutely Fantastic

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

(Flash Review)This was a 6 part documentary on the 2015 24 Hour of LeMans race. For those with an intermediate knowledge of this type of racing, as myself, you will learn nothing new. What those people will see, are candid behind the scenes comments, emotions and specific race details. So that makes it worthwhile to get a racing fix. The editing that spliced in race footage from talking heads was nicely done. There was even some nice historical portions in the first episode spliced in as well. The director even went into detail from many team's perspectives on their goals, dreams and how things ultimately panned out for them. Overall, it was solid but didn't rev me up (sorry, couldn't resist).

Ugh, the voice-overs just kill this. The info and footage is great but whoever decided that the voice-over should sound like it was coming from a transistor radio from the 60s should never get another job in film. This just makes it difficult to watch. There are so many good story lines and just as you are enjoying the story they cut to some footage with a voice-over that is from someone clearly not involved in racing and then they make that worse by the fake radio announcer sound.

I am in the middle of watching this series. I have not followed Le Mans, but knew it was a 24 hour torture test for both man and machine. I was amazed at some of the details that they went into concerning use of cutting edge technology and method of choice and training for the drivers. There was also a bit of history thrown in. The cinematography and editing were to my liking. I think I will go out of this knowing a whole lot more than I did going in.

I like the race 24h of Le Mans very much and I am happy they did this series about it. But, what is really strange is how they made it about the legendary endurance race and did not include the nine time winner (a record by far) over seventeen years of Le Mans career, gentleman with the nickname "Mr. Le Mans" - Danish driver Tom Kristensen. Without him and what he has to say on the matter - it is just not interesting as is should be, especially for the audience which is following the race from year to year. Imagine what he might have contributed. Sorry - not good enough.
