TT3D: Closer to the Edge, the review

5 Stars all the way round the circuit.

TT3D: Closer to the Edge is a class documentary,

that immerses itself in the life and times of those competing and those who help and support all that goes on on the isle of Man, as they prepare for the greatest street race in the World.
It follows the main riders, Guy Martin, John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson, Conor Cummins and Michael Dunlop.

Guy is the maverick of the circuit and we follow him from his day job of a lorry mechanic 6 weeks before the race to his new bikes and sponsor.

He doesn't always pay full attention so mistakes are made which always seem to hinder him, but this makes him more likable and his shooting from the lip only helps the situation.

The filming and editing is impressive and keeps the appeal and the edge of your seat warm, as you follow the trials and tribulations of all the riders and their families, through triumph and tragedies and there are a few.

Running time: 1Hr 36mins.
Review is of one disk, the main feature.

A must see film, available to buy now on Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray and DVD
