7000 RPM

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2019)

Passion, devotion, friendship. Absolute fantastic, fast paced and well written experience from start to finish. Loved the chemistry between the two main characters. Christian Bale was absolutely outstanding, and even though he had done this before, the body transformation from portraying Dick Chaney to Ken Miles still just makes me want to stand up and clap my hands. His determination and commitment to the role is on another level, not achievable to most actors out there. I've read that the main reason Damon wanted to do this movie, was to be able to work with Bale. Seemed like they two knew each other for years and have done dozens of movies together. The fight scene was hilarious!
As somebody who didn't know the story at all or have had any interest in Le Mans, the racing footage was excellent and well presented. It really makes you sad when Ken was cheated out of winning it but you can see he didn't care. He wasn't in it for fame.
Go and see it on the big screen while you can. It's a hell of a ride at 7000 RPMs!
