Amazing review of heroism and thriving as a human

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2013)

This was a truly surprising film which ended up one of the best ones of the decade. The film greatly juxtaposes 2 different views of heroism and keeps the viewer guessing which main character has it right only to leave the final decision open to interpretation. The viewer is left to think about his preferences and life goals and the results of the decisions leading to those endpoints. There are very few movies that actually accomplish this kind of depth and self-reflecting. On the surface you have truly great cinematography about automotive sports in their glory days when tobacco advertising was permitted and athletes were relatable. This movie is a true gem and it's rating suffers only because it's set in non- relatable non-American setting.
