I was eager with anticipation over this movie, but felt kind of let down. I agree with you . . . I desperately wanted to know more about Phillipe!
After awhile, it started to drag. Too much recreation, and perhaps too much focus on the team that helped pull this off.
I wish they had had more old footage. The old footage where he was training in a field was priceless.
I still think that this was one of the greatest stunts ever accomplished.
