Rapid Response (2019) User Reviews

Great, but not long enough

[sierra-70300 · 9/10 · 13 December 2019]

I loved this documentary. Its way too short is why the review is 9 of 10. this needs to be 3 hrs or a 10 or more episode on netflix or wherever. my first video review ever. but great job!

The story of how Dr. Stephen Olvey and colleagues revolutionised safety

[babybuletgani · 6/10 · 16 December 2019]

The story of how Dr. Stephen Olvey and colleagues revolutionised safety practices in US motorsports is an interesting one, but this documentary never really gets out of second gear. For all the amusing/shocking anecdotes (one of the ambulances used at the Indy 500 until the mid '70s was a hearse on loan from a local funeral home - surely the last thing you'd want to see after a crash), the endless crash footage is wearing and the film fails to fully engage with some of the ideas it raises - most notably the impact Olvey's research had on the automotive industry in general.
