This engrossing documentary offers a daytrip in the life of New York City tour guide Timothy "Speed" Levitch. As you listen to Speed wax poetic about the city, the streets, and the sinister forces of the "anti-cruise," some inevitable questions arise: "Is he brilliant?" "Is he insane?" "Is he brilliant and insane?" Of course, in the end, it really doesn't matter--Speed's crazy life is clearly a great ride.
