Jeff Bridges gives a dazzling performance as Preston Tucker, a dynamic engineer determined to create the car of the future. Against all odds, Tucker builds the Tucker Torpedo, but when his factory is shut down by Detroit's Big Three auto manufacturers, Tucker must fight for his American Dream in this acclaimed film from Academy Award(r)-winning director Francis Ford Coppola.

I was fascinated by the way Jeff Bridges played Tucker – a man with a perpetual smile, but you don't trust him one bit because you know there's something behind it and you want to know what it is. It could be stalwart stubbornness as well as dangerous explosiveness, I thought, and so I waited for an answer, all the while having a good time with Coppola's cutely stylized direction full of ideas. I'm surprised at how low a rating this film has. Sure, it's no The Godfather or Apocalypse Now, but then again, I'm also not going to criticize Da Vinci's hand sketch simply because it's not as great as his Last Supper.
