Rapid Response helps, in a small way, to deglamourise the dangerous thrill of the racetrack.

Its microfocus, anecdotal structure, and reliance on archive footage and talking heads, undoubtedly makes this one for the true devotees of motorsports, but they'll not want to miss it.

This sincere and workmanlike documentary about the introduction of medical assistance and safety protocols into the world of American motor racing... is initially engaging, but quickly becomes formally and fatally repetitive.

Shocking statistics, spectacular crashes and talking heads make up this film about the development of US motor racing safety. It's initially fascinating and sometimes jaws-dropping, though it's also repetitive and overlong.

It was a very riveting movie that opened our eyes to the lack of safety that racing endured for many years and how people stepped up to see important life-saving changes made to the sport.

Terrific documentary of doctors Steve Olvey and Terry Trammell who revolutionized on-site racing medical support. Great racing footage of actual events. If you are a race fan, this is a must-see.

There were some crazy crashes shown in this film. Pretty interesting to learn about how auto safety has changed so much over the past few decades.
