Superb movie not just for a racing fans

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2020)

"Ford v Ferrari", based on the 2009 book "Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans", is adrenaline-fueled entertainment, not just for a for racing fans but non-racing fans too. What makes this movie so great are the performances of all the cast, but especially M. Demon and C. Bale - who gives a rock-solid performance that shows the intensity and determination of his character. Damon as - a quite memorable character too, is superb as - 'Caroll Shelby' as he fights for what he believes. But actually, what really makes this film even better is the chemistry that Demon and Bale create together. It feels like they've been friends for life. If the film has a fault, it's that it stops short of showing us what exactly drives both men. The racing scenes are superbly realized, kinetic and thrilling, although there's often a little too much fast-cutting pedal-shots. No mater, the crowning achievement of "Ford v Ferrari" is its portrayal of the Les Mans race in 1966 with quite emotional climax. Ultimately, film doesn't disappoint and is highly recommendable.
