Goes well past 7000 rpm.

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2020)

I'll start by saying that I am more of a casual fan of racing (Love rally racing though) , I do adore cars however. ( I adored seeing the Chevy racing team with their Corvettes early on in the movie)
Even if you have no love or interest in either of these, it should still not dissuade you from seeing this movie.
The acting is top notch, as you would expect with Bale and Damon at the helm, but the whole cast is stunning. The story is based on the 1966 '24 Hours of Le Mans', and the resounding duel between the all-American, yet struggling Ford racing team and the already legendary Italian Ferrari team.
I won't go to much into the plot but, I left the cinema for the first time in awhile feeling fulfilled by a movie, the visuals are excellent the cars and settings accurate and there was clearly oodles of love and adoration poured into this movie.
The racing scenes are the highlight, they are incredibly tense and gripping,making the rivalry between the 2 companies come to a very satisfying boil and conclusion.
If you don't understand the love many of us have for cars and racing, this movie will make you understand. It makes me truly happy seeing the passion and love for motor-sports and cars in general being shown by the characters and clearly present in the writers. Bale's performance in particular, almost makes you want to pick up wrench and head for the garage yourself. These characters live and breathe cars and you can feel it.
Highly recommended to all audiences.
Please Hollywood, more passionate film making like this.
