      Harvey B I am a Vincent enthusiast so had a good reason to watch it. My wife came along. She was blown away about the human story behind the motorcycle. It was all about the people and very well done with terrific editing. A film that everybody would enjoy watching; it's about human endeavour and the vicissitudes of life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Rudi S The only movie worth watching to learn about the history and glory of Philip Vincent and Vincent motorcycles. Ewan McGregor (who else?!) narrates this tale of pure guts and determination, to produce the fastest and, eventually, most expensive motorcycle on the planet.

Rated: 3/5 Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Ben Shehadi Film Threat Speed is Expensive is a thoroughly researched and watchable documentary about one of the modern world’s most gifted motor manufacturers.
