All gassed up and ready to burn

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2019)

Great movie with a top notch performance by Christian Bale and Matt Damon, a fun ride with some very well shot an directed race sequences. It follows the true story of the Ford company expanding themselves financially and Bale's character training to win the 1966 Le Man's cup. It does run for quite a while. 2 and a half hours but it rarely drags and is entertaining and heartfelt the whole way through. Also a pretty funny movie to with a bit of comedy sprinked here and there but definitely has it's serious moments too.
The movie is definitely a period piece and the movie nails it for the time period it is set in. It's some really well though out production design and visual choices for the atmosphere of this movie. Some very nice car models are put to good use in the movie which are very appealing to the eye. Overall a very well made movie about the competition between two monumental car companies and the tale of a man with his passion for racing
