An Epic Fast Paced Film

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2019)

My family are big motor sport fans so I had to see Le Mans 66 or as it is mainly known Ford V Ferrari and this film was an experience and one of my favourite films of recent memory. The premise of the film sees two ambitous drivers try to create a Ford to defeat Ferrari at the 24 Hour Le Mans race. Christian Bale plays the lead in the film and he is fantastic in this film, he is so charismatic and charming and you truly care about his character in the film. An Oscar Nomination is waiting for him for sure, his chemistry with Matt Damon is brilliant and one of the best duos in recent memory. As said Matt Damon is great in the film too, he compliments Bale so well and his loud personality really works for this film and there is most definitley an Oscar nomination ready for him. Jon Bernthal is in this film and also does a great job, he is pretty likeable in the film and I felt like he was a character we were meant to like and sympathise with. The rest of the cast also do a great job, they all fit there roles brilliantly and feel like they fit into the movie flawlessly. The story is fascinating, seeing these two companies go to war over building a car is great, and seeing the different personalities clashing, it feels real and like these people are working on something that really matters. The script is great, a true mix of humour and drama, it makes everybody in the film feel very realy and interesting. The style of the film is breathtaking, the race scenes keep you on the edge of your seat and build the tension superbly, the film never really slows down and keeps you on the edge of the seat. Overall this is a pretty amazing film that needs to be seen by all film fans and will be remembered as a classic.
