Into the Dust : A Movie Review

Into the Dust is a movie that follows a father and son race team through the toughest twenty-five hours that anyone could ever face. The Baja 1000…

I’m sure if you ask some mothers, they’ll tell you that the 25 hours of labor involved with pushing a 10 lb human out of a small orifice in the body makes the Baja 1000 look like a piece of cake. To that I would say, “Yes, but was it dirty, and was there a motor involved?”
If they answer, “Yes” then I will happily shut up and walk away.

Otherwise, there are few races that span such a diverse array of landscapes, temperature changes, and ever-changing race conditions.

Into The Dust sounds a little cheesy at times due to the narration. The beginning sounds a little like a motivational speaker bending your ear with their latest test market spiel. I came away realizing that the person doing the narration has been using those pipes for a long time, and probably knows what he’s doing by now. It settled down by the first half of the movie, as realization of the task at hand set in.

I’m not going to say anything further, except that this is a good flick, and it’s amazing that it’s available for free on the ‘Tube. Also, I don’t know why movies are called ‘flicks’, but that’s not relevant at this time.

I couldn’t think of a better way to kill and hour and a half on YouTube, since I’m not a cat videos kind of person.

Enjoy!
