Rush


Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, Rush portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessed—handsome English playboy Hunt and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Lauda. Taking us into their personal lives on and off the track, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error. If you make one mistake, you die.

This felt at times like a Formula One version of Days Of Thunder.  You saw how the two drivers grew up professionally and personally on two very different paths.  The back and forth between them was great and even though the movie was advertised so heavily about Chris Hemsworth, the actor that played Lauda was more enjoyable and I found myself rooting for him much more.  The intensity of the racing scenes was great and the camera work was amazing at points. 

I would recommend people check this movie out.  It's not a must see by any means but it was a very enjoyable character drama.  I have never been a racing fan but I would have to think that if it got me into it that any racing fans would love this movie.
