Great Rush Of Insight and Thrills

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2019)

28 April 2001. Except for an impossible ending, Stallone's movie is a great one. This movie held true to substance while using its style to enhance the relational aspects of the movie between people. Even Burt Reynold's holds his own as a mean, but understandable race team owner. Most of the characters are portrayed with sensitivity and without black and white, stark stereotypes. Each person is treated with respect. The movie stayed the track on race car driving, instead of cheap shots, cheap sex. I loved the shots of driving, the racing milieu, the human side as well as the commercial side. Stallone did a good job.
