Thrilling action and high drama

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2019)

This is the most entertaining and one of the most satisfying films I've seen in years. Don't let viewer reviews by racing snobs deter you from seeing it. Two and a half hours flew by. The script is tight and efficient with great pacing and just the right amount of drama, the racing scenes are thrilling and all the performances are excellent, with Christian Bale the standout. My husband and I have very different tastes in movies and this is one of the few that had enough action for him along with a captivating story for me; we were both riveted throughout. The whole film is as exciting and fun as the previews conveyed, which is rare in my experience.
