Average user review:| - The Most Exciting Motorcycle Roadracing Dramatic Movie Ever Made! |
Originally filmed in 2002 at rounds of the SBK World Superbike Championship, High Speed was never released in theatres or on DVD because of legal and distribution issues. Staring in this romantic drama which centers on two best friends racing together in the Aprilia factory superbike team, was a then unknown beautiful young British actress named Sienna Miller who has since become a Hollywood superstar ("Layer Cake" "Factory Girl" "Casanova").
Filmed on location at the tracks and races of the SBK World Superbike Championship, High Speed stars beautiful Sienna Miller in an action packed, thrilling romance drama love triangle where her two boy friends are on the same factory team fighting for the SBK World Superbike Championship. As a sportbike enthusiast and Hollywood stunt director himself, Jensen delivers some of the most exciting on bike camera race action and crash scenes that have ever been created. Critics call High Speed one of the best motorsports movie dramas ever, comparable to the classics: "Grand Prix" staring James Garner, and "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen.
