Currently at 6/10, this is an underrated film with a timeless working class message. It's ever more poignant in the age of the gig economy and precarious work.
It really should be seen by its intended audience--not the high brow critics who may not understand emotional elements to nameless bikers economic situation. It doesn't preach. The protagonist barely speaks English and is hesitant to communicate his desperation. This gives simple shots a great deal of emotional weight which for me is the true art of filmmaking. It's unpretentious, it's relevant, it's genuine and understated. It's art before art got rich.
