"Ford v Ferrari" is a thrill ride with heart.

Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2019)

"Ford v Ferrari" juggles enough fast cars, heart and fine performances to entertain you all the way through.
.
In this sports drama based on a true story, a team of determined engineers make it a mission to build a Ford vehicle fast enough to beat Ferrari in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
.
Running a little over two and a half hours, "Ford v Ferrari" can be tighter, but the film overall is a fun ride and a solid underdog story. Matt Damon and Christian Bale are a dynamic duo and offer viewers two whole-hearted and grand performances. Director James Mangold ("Walk The Line") makes you feel like you're on that race track and also makes you want to stand up and cheer. An entertaining piece of automotive history that not many people know about and well worth the watch.
