Well directed, Well performed, a breathtakingly amazing film!

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2014)

With Schumi lying in a coma, this movie is really painful to watch, knowing just how dangerous a life he lived on the tracks for two decades, only to be bought down by another sport which doesn't even remotely compare to the Grand Prix tracks' fatality.the wretchedly twisted ironic face of life, that is
I was skeptic about this movie at first, it being a car racing movie with Hemsworth in the lead role and the only face on the posterbut in the first ten minutes of viewing it, my skepticism just blew away like marbles off a race car tireAlthough Hemsworth's performance was surprisingly great, the shining diamond of this movie is, without questions, the lesser known actor, Daniel Brühl.
Both actors perfectly grooved into their characters as history's greatest Formula 1 rivals, James Hunt and Nicki Launda, right down to the accent and mannerisms. The cinematography was exceptional, and the score kept the emotions pumped at the right moments, thanks to Hans Zimmer. Exaggerations were present but to a bare minimum and never really interfered with the movie's theme. Brühl's performance somehow reminded me of Christian Bale. The character development was great, the intimacies between the characters were natural and beautiful.
