Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
