Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A catatonic David Essex hauls himself up, Sheene-style, to higher sponsorship on the motorcycle racing circuit. Beau Bridges, every inch of his torso already adorned with paying customers, does all he can to stop him. There is an Elton John song that repeats endlessly 'Life Isn't Ev-ery-thi-ing' on the death of a young motorcyclist. This film is the logical extension of that deeply superficial statement.
