Riding High

About This Movie

Riding High is a curious blend of action, comedy, and drama, with a distinctly British flair. The film follows a young motorcycle messenger, played by Eddie Kidd, whose restlessness leads him to the roaring world of bike racing. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow—moments of tension are peppered with light-hearted exchanges, thanks in part to Irene Handl’s quirky performance. The practical effects, especially the motorcycle stunts, are quite impressive for the time, adding a certain grit to the overall vibe. You can really feel the characters grappling with ambition and boredom, which creates a relatable atmosphere. It's not just about racing; it’s about finding purpose amidst the chaos.
