Rush (2013)

[RoadmasteR]

Ron Howard directs.

A biography of Formula 1 champion driver Niki Lauda and the 1976 crash that almost claimed his life. Mere weeks after the accident, he got behind the wheel to challenge his rival, James Hunt.

Looks alright, I'll check it, but only because Howard is directing. And I dunno if it's just me, but that dude playing opposite Hemsworth sounds like his voice is dubbed for some reason

Meh.

Well I think it may be because he's trying to mirror Niki Lauda's accent, the actor was raised speaking three languages. Spanish mother and German father. I've been waiting for another decent F1 film to come out, I think it's fucking awesome it's coming from an American director! F1 will pick up more supporters here in American eventually, just like the rise of soccer. It'll be one of the "Big Four" sports in our country.

If anyone wanted to get a bit more background of these two drivers, interesting piece here:

I don't know how I feel about racing movies. I'm not really into racing/cars.

You should check out this film when it's released, the drama is already there in F1; putting it on film like this only makes it more fun to watch. This film should be fun to watch even for folks outside of F1.

Finally got around to watching this. Despite not caring about racing movies in general, I thought it was pretty good. It's the performances by the two leads and Howard's directing that really kept me watching. Pretty good drama overall. 7/10
