The Flying Scotsman—good story, plays out well—begins with a bit of
disorganization. But, after Graeme Obree (Jonny Lee Miller) gets into bicycle
racing, the pace levels some, but the story complicates itself due to lack of
good character development. The characters are not easily remembered by name,
but rather by facial features which detracts from the deeper human element that
typically marks the better films. The film serves as a light afternoon watch.

Thanks
Thank you to Director
Douglas Mackinnon for directing effort. Characters/cast include: Graeme Obree
(Jonny Miller), Anne Obree (Laura Fraser), Malky McGovern (Billy Boyd), Douglas
Baxter (Brian Cox), and Katie (Morven Christie).
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. Despite presentation flaws and shallow character
development, the movie educates. It earns a single watch and informs about professional
bicycle racing.
