So. Damn. Fun.

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2020)

Damon did Damon things, and Bale did Bale things. More importantly, this movie managed to be sports-y and non-sports-y all at once. You still get all the adrenaline and polish of a giant victory rally, but you also get the kind of character-driven drama that's typically reserved for awards season. Let's be clear: this is a dad movie, and I am the target dad. But I have never cared about race cars or watched people turn left on TV...and I absolutely loved all 150 minutes of this story. Movies are supposed to help you forget real life and remember real life all at once. That's just what this one did.
