One for the action loving folks

"Men love women – but even more than that, men love CARS!"
This quote sets the tone for the rest of the film. Rush is a superb drama by Ron Howard about fierce rivalry between two greatest F1 racer in history, James Hunt vs Niki Lauda during the memorable 1976 Formula One world championship. The racing scenes are thrilling, and the personal dynamics in the pits and away from the track genuinely intriguing. Lauda's character is played by Daniel Brühl who is cunning, self-centered and perfectionist at first, but develops as the movie progresses and becomes the emotional center of the movie towards the end. Hunt's character is diametrically opposite to Lauda's and is well played by Chris Hemsworth.
The racing sequences are realistic and keep you on the edge of your seat. The women in the movie don't play a significant role and are there just for the for the sake of it. I would genuinely recommend this film to anyone who loves the action genre just for the sake of the racing sequences.
