Ford v Ferrari (2019) - 7.3
Act 1 - 6.7
Act 2 - 7.3
Act 3. - 7.9

1st act creation and failiure and now Shelby is in charge
Fight is great
2nd act win Daytona and practicing and letting Miles drive
3rd act the race and devastation
Corporate greed ruining a pure moment
Not a fan of Bale's performance as it feels like a caricature and not a real person at times
Didn't like how they had him constantly talk to the car while driving and those scenes would have been more powerful with silence and focus
Damon gives a good performance and is someone who is easy to root for
The top brass at Ford felt unbelievably generic and no qualities that were unique and stood out
Film tries to be a rousing inspiration but falls flat at times
The race scenes are filmed very well
The ending is a bummer but it is real life and real life doesn't always go as planned
Dialogue doesn't always connect and the direction is sometimes shoddy
The stuff with Miles's family works good and the first act of the film with the setup could have been cut down a bit to save time as this film does feel its length
Film is still well made overall and I'm sure will hit well with the typical audience member
Film was just too by the number for my liking and didn't take any chances to liven this film up a bit
