It is a little distancing, but I appreciate that he is a low key guy.

Even if Explorer doesn’t get into the depths of Ranulph’s passion for the sport, it shows a pleasant and motivating perspective of the world’s greatest to push himself to the limit.

5/5

You know that guy, the salt-and-pepper-haired dude hawking “Dos Equis” beer on TV, online, and in thousands of subsequent memes? The one who is touted as being “The Most Interesting Man in the World?” He can’t hold a candle to Ranulph Fiennes.

What an extraordinary human being! Absolutely incomprehensible and unfathomable how he achieved what he did. Brilliant story and very well presented by Matthew Dyas. I bet the SAS regret letting him go 😜 Always a mystery what gives a person such drive, determination and focus. Truly one in a billion human.

When your own life is so exciting you are bored in a movie about the most prolific explorer of your time.
