So, 'Tornado: The 100mph Steam Engine' is this fascinating documentary that dives deep into a rather audacious attempt to break a speed record with a steam locomotive. It's set against the backdrop of the East Coast Main Line, capturing that gritty, nostalgic vibe of railway culture. The atmosphere is thick with anticipation and a sense of history—this isn't just about speed, but reviving a lost era of steam. The pacing keeps you on edge as you watch the behind-the-scenes efforts unfold, and you get a real sense of the engineering challenges involved. The practical effects of the locomotive in action are quite something. It's like a love letter to steam, and even if the director remains a mystery, the passion is evident throughout.
