Very odd doc in the sense that the only soundtrack I could here was this monotone male voice doing a pretty bad job on the script reading. As time went by, I THOUGHT I heard some sound effects, and even later, some music! But yeah, that narrator has got to go. Film talks about California's highways and how they're built, then all of a sudden lurches into safety measures. Very odd segway there.
