And old-fashioned Hollywood. In a good way

Rating: 6/10 (5 December 2019)

An old-fashioned Hollywood movie with great performances and exciting racing sequences.
Them testing the car and clashing with Ford executives is fine, but the movie really is at its best when it focuses on racing. Even then, the performances from Bale and Damon are so good that they make even the rockiest parts of movie watchable.
The third act is so much fun it mostly makes up for many problems I might have had with the build-up.
It feels like the movie is a big allegory for movie studio interference and how it can prevent greatness. I like that, even if even comes with the cost of makong the Ford and Ferrari execs feel like cartoon villains, but then again, old-fashioned Hollywood movie.
This was a lot fun.
