Am I missing something?

Rating: 6/10 (9 March 2020)

I'm not sure if I'm just missing something, but this is another recent release I was keen to see after rave reviews. I am a car guy and love movies that are set in the era this movie is set, but there was something seriously lacking in this movie. I don't know if it was Bales put on cock way accent or what, but the movie left me feeling extremely unfulfilled. The story itself, which I was not entirely familiar with was OK, but there were some serious flat spots that made me want to turn it off.it also had a very anticlimactic ending, I was hoping they would show the car crash close up, instead it was off screen and in the distance.
It was shot well, the race scenes were good, and the set design and streets transformed to the mid 60's was really well done. Matt Damon was great, the standout actually, I was more interested in bales performance but it was lacking something.
Still worth a watch, but I would wait until it's on Netflix or something.
