    FYI,

    Thunderman is Okay... not great. Hold on to your hats though. Tony Scott and the nephew of film great Michael Cimino are doing an Aronow film based on the younger Cimino's book. The budget is over 50 million according to Variety.

    Not much on the boats themselves I would classify it as a TV documentary on A&E .

    They did do a decent job of casting reasonable doubt for Ben Kramer though.

    More boat story and action would have made it better for me.

    It's strange to see people you know well in these things. I thought Charlie and Richie gave good interviews and some background. I was shocked at Joey's condition in the days before his death, but mostly I was amazed at how much Ben still sounds like Ben on the taped phone conversation, head unbowed and coming across much as he always was. If I spent the last 20 years in a cage, I wonder if my spirits could match his.

    Bottom line a sad, tragic story about very ruthless and competitive people where everyone lost in the end.

    Watched this last night. I did find the "bonus" section interviews with the production assistants and crew absolutely hysterical. And the "rock video"... WHOOOEEE!!! Now that was "something".

    I would mirror the comments made by others. Interesting to hear these guys talk about it with some form of first hand knowlege. Interesting to hear what Kramer had to say about it. But honestly, couldn't really get past the production quality or the fact that I think they actually got Bobcat to play the part of the homocide detective...

    Better than nothing.

    Purchased my copy via eBAY about a month ago. Had it shipped home (Melbourne, Australia), possibly the first copy to land down under. Not too many aware of Aronow's contribution to Offshore Powerboat Racing here.

    Unfortunately the film did not live up to my expectations, but I have no regrets and am pleased to be able to say I have a copy.

    I also thought the interviews in the bonus section were interesting, particularly those of of Ben Kramer & George Bush Senior.
