Review of TT3D: Closer to the Edge (2011) by Alex R — 08 Dec 2012

Excellent documentary about this intense race, Closer to the Edge chronicles the Isle of Man's race and its history. Director Richard de Aragues crafts something special with this picture. I enjoy cars, and motorcycles and anything that goes fast.

The bond between man and machine is something that no one can comprehend and we get a taste of the dedication, the risks and struggles that these racers go through in order to win on this intense track.

The film features Guy Martin, a mechanic and racer who is very humorous and fast talks kind of like Brad Pitt in Snatch. He is always entertaining here, and it's what keeps you engaged from start to finish.

Add to that some awesome and incredible race footage and the passion to risk and it's a film is absolutely just engaging. As far as documentaries are concerned, this is among the best that I have seen so far.

If you ever come across this film, definitely give it a view. This race is intense, thrilling and off the wall. The risk of death and accidents are much higher than other races and we get a feel for that in this documentary.

Even if you're not a fan of bikes, you should check this out because it is highly entertaining and memorable due to its subjects who participate in this outstanding endeavor. Director Richard de Aragues has crafted a fine documentary that will thrill you from the first frame to the last.

A highly memorable viewing experience and one that you soon won't forget.
