Thoroughly enjoyed this movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2019)

Based on a true story, "Ford v. Ferrari" is a highly entertaining thrill ride even if you, like me, are not a racing fan or auto aficionado. During the driving scenes at Daytona and Le Mans, I felt like I was in the car! While many action movies today rely heavily on CGI razzle dazzle and outrageous surrealism, this movie gives you action in a more realistic, gritty depiction. You feel how dangerous this sport is, particularly in the '60s. Matt Damon and Christian Bale both give terrific, multidimensional performances as Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles, respectively. Great chemistry between them. They're flawed, realistic characters, passionate about their work and very likable. You root for them. Go see this movie!
