Let me just start off by saying that this movie was nothing like what I thought it would be. I had expected to see a film primarily featuring motorcycle clubs competing against one another (or each other) with an emphasis on action. What I saw, on the other hand, was a romantic drama in which the lead character named "Reggie" (Colin Campbell) gets married to his sweetheart named "Dot" (Rita Tushingham) but after a series of quarrels becomes somewhat involved with a friend by the name of "Pete" (Dudley Sutton) who turns out to be gay. Again, this was not what I expected. Adding to my disappointment was the fact that the movie started off extremely slow and only got interesting during the motorcycle scenes which were few and far between. In any case, while other viewers might enjoy a film of this sort it simply wasn't my cup of tea and as a result I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
