Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle A total hodge-podge of relatively random footage from the Baja 1000. Rated: 2/5 May 1, 2005 Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution Contestants have 32 hours to finish the race, and unless off-road racing is your thing, Dust to Glory can sometimes feel like it lasts about that long. Rated: C Apr 28, 2005 Full Review Peter Debruge Miami Herald Exhilarating. Rated: 3/4 Apr 22, 2005 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com "Dust To Glory" is a satisfying thrill ride that allows the viewer to experience the raw excitement of a race that few people have the stones or mental wherewithal to participate in. Rated: B+ Jun 3, 2009 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Makes me want to drive in the Baja race. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I've always been interested by baja racing. And by the baja 1000 (huge baja race, witch this documentary is based around) however many people know little or nothing about the racing style, and the race itself. Many people are unaware of the deep down feelings, and close knit relationships the drivers have. I recommend this movie to anyone interested, or wanting to learn about the beauty of baja racing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member If you like cars, trucks and adventures in foreign locales, you will like this. This was one of the first movies cut in Adobe Premiere, for you geeks who dig computer trivia. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Bit messy and hard to follow but interesting material. Just too broad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member May seem kinda boring, but it's entertaining Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Great. Perhaps though a modern ON ANY SUNDAY film would've been even greater. (considering that Bruce Brown's son made it) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
