A fast paced racing film.

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2015)

I liked Rush because of the way it is put together and the fact that it is based on a true story. As James Hunt progresses through the formula driving leagues, his rival Nikki Lauder bought his way into Ferrari. There are multiple arguments between Hunt and Lauder, as the season goes on there is a fight for the title between our two main characters. The turning point is when they are on a race day and the rain is pouring down, Lauder suggests to call of the race, Hunt comes in and notices that if they call of the race Lauder will win the championship. They go ahead with the race and Lauder has a crash, causing severe burns. While Lauder is out Hunt wins most races. In the end it is Hunt who wins the championship. I like the twist in the true story that it is not always a happy ending. Lauder is still alive to this day, but Hunt sadly passed away at the age of 45 due to a heart attack. So if you fancy watching a fast action film, I would definitely recommend this film and I rate this film an amazing 8/10.
