pick up this movie because the trailer look good and be not disappointed . maybe just a little long and but the movie flow well the lead character be likable and you care what happen to him and hidalgo . strange that they do not flesh out the other racer before the start though . we be interested in the story and do a little research the basic fact appear true ( he do indeed take part in this race ) although there be a liberal amount of poetic license and of course . thought omar shariff play a very good part and the rest of the cast give good support . all in all and a good movie to curl up and enjoy with your chosen love one .
