Back in the early1960s: we meet  Ben Aronoff [John Travolta:] he was buildings or something to that effect, but when that went tits-up he had to find something else which he did with was offshore powerboat racing; it came with a heavy price and this is his story.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is okay for what it is, but with this narration/storyteller/exposition character developments from Ben/Travolta: this is functional and services purpose, but the time jumps are tedious as it most definitely feel like we are skimming a pebble over some water and on top of that we are visible circle singing as well, so it is very easy to become disinterested with this project as it comes across as there isn't much happening of great substance and when there is... like I said you are possibly disinterested, the pacing of the 102 minutes film is probably best described as mobile, not the most quickest, but hardly the most slowest either, it just gets on with the job really.

Art and action; I like the historical footage as it relates to the actual footage and obviously the action, the person and I that watch this particular content together; or not a fan of the hairpiece that Travolta had to wear, we were not also not a fan of the eyebrows; but on some research on how the person looked in reality; their hair on top of the head roughly looks how it was meant to look, but to be honest still; they should have spent more time making it look more authentic and for the eyebrows they can't do anything about them; meaning that is how it looked in real life, in one particular sequence when it is race day and it is heavily raining the green screen effects are very easy to pick up on and finally we get the standard criminal activities action sequences without giving too much away.

Character developments and performances; as this is based on real events, the character developments and performances are a solid reflection of what they are meant to be; if you have watched a lot of films in your time, you would have come across some occasions where how can I put this nicely; the main established name; Travolta very much keeping things going.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; don't get me wrong I like the historical footage and like I said the character developments and likewise the performances are what they are, but even though this film is based on or loosely based on real-life events, layout of this film as in the framework and pacing; specifically the time jumps just didn't help things in the slightest and on top we get some voice-over in the ending credits of news reports. This film also has some awards accredited to it such as 2 which include but not limited to Cinequest San Jose Film Festival which include but not limited to;  Best Virtual Reality Film Virtual Reality Travis Cloyd Richard Rionda Del Castro Guy Griffithe
