The World's Fastest Indian

The World's Fastest Indian (2005) starring Anthony Hopkins, Diane Ladd. Hopkins stars as an old man in New Zealand who dreams of taking his 1920s Indian Scout motorcycle to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah and trying to set a new land-speed record. Along the way, he meets and befriends a variety of characters, most of them American, and all of them interesting. This is a fairly entertaining, straight-line movie that provides an evening's divertissement and doesn't challenge the intellect too much. (Subtitles in English are not offered on the disc, but closed captions make up for the loss.) Grade: B
