Same old underdog story lifted by great screenplay and performances.

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2020)

Ford v Ferrari is about the egos of two business tycoons Henry Ford the second and Enzo Ferrari. Still it's less about these two and more about Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby. This film is a perfect tribute to both of them and their contribution to the sport of racing.
What's good:
1. The screenplay is great and so is the direction. There are many great scenes and the director Jamed Mangold is able to make us feel exactly how he wanted to.
2. The performances by all the actors are great. Christian Bale gets the most heroic part of Ken Miles and he shines throughout the movie. Matt Damon's part is less heroic but he also does a good job. Jon Bernthal, Josh Lucas and other actors have also done a good job according to their small roles.
3. The second half of the film is highly entertaining.
What's bad:
1. It is an underdog story and has certain predictable scenes that many underdog stories have.
2. There is only one female character Caitriona Balfe and her role is pretty small although she gets one good scene.
Christian Bale fans will love it and others will like it.
