"Dust To Glory" is a satisfying thrill ride that allows the viewer to experience the raw excitement of a race that few people have the stones or mental wherewithal to participate in.

Brown lays the sentimentality on so much that it almost brings the whole production down. Luckily there's lots of tremendous shots and a solid story to keep it going.

One needn't be an auto racing fan to appreciate the athletes depicted in Dana Brown's intriguing documentary about the Baja 1000 off-road race.

The images from this wild race are spectacular at times.

| Original Score: B | May 15, 2005

A total hodge-podge of relatively random footage from the Baja 1000.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 1, 2005

Dust to Glory is a valentine from a committed fan, full of gee-whiz idolizing that -- for this viewer, anyway -- quickly wears thin.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 29, 2005

Short of attending in person, Dust to Glory is the best way to experience what one driver called 'a 24-hour plane crash.'

| Apr 29, 2005

Contestants have 32 hours to finish the race, and unless off-road racing is your thing, Dust to Glory can sometimes feel like it lasts about that long.

Director and chief cheerleader Dana Brown averages almost one hyperbole per mile in his souped-up infomercial.

| Apr 28, 2005

Could be more tightly focused, but its funny, audacious and profoundly exciting moments are abundant enough to keep it running.

| Original Score: B | Apr 25, 2005

While accidents are awful (even when they take place off camera), they do clarify the risk involved here.

| Apr 24, 2005

Exhilarating.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 22, 2005

Dust to Glory needed an editor - or at least a better one; someone who might have helped this documentary focus on one or two stories rather than trying to tell a dozen or more.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 22, 2005

I can't say Dust to Glory... qualifies as a great documentary, but it chronicles an event that speaks to the raw instinct to face a challenge and conquer it.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Apr 22, 2005

As with Step into Liquid, Brown proves in Dust to Glory that the thrill of high-speed racing can be shared by fans and non-fans alike.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 22, 2005

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 22, 2005

Brown's hyperbolic surfer-dude narration... often undercuts the loopy spectacle of gears, grime and grit he intends to celebrate.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 22, 2005

Seems too infatuated with its subjects yet too detached to be engaging.
