Not Just for Racing Fans

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2013)

Rush is living proof that sometimes the truth makes a much better story than fiction. Set in the 70s amongst the glamorous world of grand prix, Rush is so much more than a movie about car racing. It tells the story of the rivalry between Niki Luader(Daniel Bruhl) a disciplined and anti-social trust fund baby turned race car driver and James Hunt (Chrris Hemsworth) a charismatic and part- loving playboy. Their relationship is compelling viewer as they push each other forward to achieve their individual dreams at great personal sacrifice. Both Hemwsworth and Bruhl are outstanding in their individual roles. The footage and camera-work are compelling and the depiction of the 70s era will make you feel like you belong there. This is a movie that both men and women will enjoy (albeit for a very different reasons) and, despite the fact that I detest car racing, it will go down as one of my most favourite films of all time.
