Michael Hewitt and Dermot lavery manage to weave an emotional tapestry of success and tragedy in Road. Set against the backdrop of northern ireland, Road tells the story of two sets of brothers a generation apart, embroiled in the dangerous world of motorcycle road racing. The sport involves racing at speeds in excess of 200mph through narrow country roads lined with trees, telephone poles and ditches.
Liam Neeson does a fantastic job of taking us through the trials and tribulations of the Dunlop family who for over 30 years have dominated the sport. We’re shown archive footage of the family back in their hay day and interview footage of family and friends, it does all begin to feel a little too over laboured towards the end as the score ramps up and the tragedy is told by one after another grief stricken family member or close friend. The tale is poignant and any fan of motorsport should enjoy.
