Lawbolisted Powerful

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

andrew Perry I enjoyed the movie of Peter Brock. It was a good yarn. In my opinion though, this is not the story of Peter Brock as the people who knew him would have written or would like to see. In my opinion this movie is the impression of the writers and directors who sought to make an interesting movie given the material at hand. I suspect the writers are not familiar with motor racing, and the legend that was Mr Peter Brock.The character portrayed was quite interesting, though I suspect any autograph hunter would have immediately seem the difference in personalities between the Peter Brock that was presented, and the Peter Brock that they met.Having said that however, it was an interesting movie or mini series. The first part especially was really good. I enjoyed the historical bits they chose to put in which included the footage of his Austin A30, his many Toranas, Commodores and his other ventures such as the Ford Sierras.If you're a Peter Brock fan, as so many of us are, don't take it to heart, it's just a movie. I'm sure the next people to write the movie of Peter Brock will depict Peter, the King of the Mountain, in a different light.The portrayal of Allan Moffat was OK, though to my mind a little off. A fierce and calculating competitor, though he was not the focus of the movie, it would be nice to have seen him played a little closer to the truth.I believe they spun out the polariser part far too long. While it was definitely a factor in his relationship with Holden, and an important one at that, it was given too much time and became quite boring. It seemed to occupy a longer part in the movie, relatively speaking, than it did in real life.I also would have enjoyed more of his later racing, and his life after racing, which seemed to be quite rushed. There was a lot more to this man than was presented in the second part of this mini series.
