Well-Acted & Well-Directed!

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2013)

Ron Howard delivers a yet another impressive film with 'Rush'. An interesting watch, that re-tells a true-story with much style. Even the performances, are quite good!
'Rush' is A re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between Formula One rivals James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
'Rush' is about human spirit. It narrates James Hunt and Niki Lauda's famous rivalry with much style. Peter Morgan's Screenplay is always on the move, although the film tends to get a bit too lengthy in the second-hour. It needed to be trimmed by at least 15-minutes. Ron Howard is a master at his craft & 'Rush' is another glowing example to the fact. Cinematography is rich. Editing needed more sharpness. Art & Costume Design are okay. Make-Up is flawlessly done.
Performance-Wise: Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt, delivers competently, while Daniel Brühl as Niki Lauda, is efficient. Alexandra Maria Lara as Marlene Lauda, is wonderfully restrained. Olivia Wilde as Suzy Miller, is relegated to the backseat.
On the whole, 'Rush' runs on a fast engine.
