Well Driven & Superbly Acted

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2019)

Just when you think that Hollywood has but strained all it can out of "American underdog victory stories", it toots out Ford vs Ferrari. Ford is struggling and bound to shut down its production line unless someone can save its ass. The idea comes, to tackle Italian giants Ferrari at the greatest endurance race, Le Mans.
Enter Shelby (Damon) and Miles (Bale). Together, whilst battling their own demons, they build and drive the one and only...Mustang. The story plays out but it's both Damon and Bale that really do excel in this film. They bounce off each other with effortlessly ease, which clearly makes this an enjoyable film.
Not many sports orientated films are made that are of this calibre, but every now and then you get one that hits the bullseye.
