4.0 out of 5 stars Low budget but very clever, May 27, 2001
By BURT KRITT (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2 Seconds (DVD)
In this obviously low budget film there is far superior entertainment than most bloated big spending blockbusters. Though the main character's life is unfocused at first, the story is very carefully pieced together. While bicycle racing is used as the main plot sevice, the theme applies to anybody who has a goal in life and wants to succeed. The characters are all very real, even the bicycle store proprieter who could seem a bit mythic. I thoroughly enjoyed this clever movie, and I suspect anybody who dreams about improving their life will too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tech-head messenger meets cranky roadie!, November 15, 2000
By Steven L. Sheffield (Wasatch Front, Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2 Seconds (DVD)
The title pretty much says it all!

Charlotte Laurier plays a professional downhill mountain bike racer who hesitates by two seconds just before starting the biggest race of her life ... and loses by that very same two seconds. After being fired by her team, she returns to her native Montreal and gets a job as a bike messenger.

Needing service one evening, she discovers a small shop owned by a cranky Italian former professional road bike racer (and now master mechanic).

The two clash at first, but over time grow to understand one another. The classic scene is when the two hold a competition of sorts ... what about? You'll just have to watch the film to find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars David Schachter, Tucson, AZ, June 24, 2003
By David (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2 Seconds [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Two of my most beloved joys: mountain biking and French films! Those of us who ride understand the amazing relativity of time, especially on the bike. Not only does the movie truly capture many of the very "in" concepts of the sport, but it also addresses the concept of how many of us are closing off our hearts by throwing ourselves so fully into an activity. Riding is great! Love is better.
