It's not about the racing, it's about the rivalry

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2015)

The most impressive thing Rush did for me was actually that I liked it. No I didn't. I loved this movie. I'm saying that it's impressive, because I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in F1 Racing. What did it for me in this film were the amazing characters. Polarized til' the death, Nicki Lauda and James Hurt's rivalry in this movie is amazingly well portrayed with amazing (and shocking) performances by Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl. The script is amazing and I really have no complaints about the movie, whatsoever. What really intrigued me about the movie and kept me on the edge of my seat was basically that I knew nothing about the real story behind the film and because it is so well written, acted and shot I just needed to keep watching. The film features some of the best footage of cars and engines and racing that I have ever seen. The rivalry between Lauda and Hurt is compelling to say the least and it is extremely interesting to watch these two opposite people in every way compete to be the best, but in a way they still motivate each other. Kinda like Batman and Joker...kinda...
