Ron Howards best film in years

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2015)

I originally didn't know anything about the source material going in to this movie. I didn't know James Hunt or Niki Lauda so I went into this film with an open mind. Needless to say I was completely blown away by the smart, funny and amazing script-work from Peter Morgan. This film has instances where you are gripping the edge of your seat while the leads are racing in a physical and metaphorical battle with each others personalities. This is also a film that has two amazing performances from superhero Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl. Both give convincing and memorable performances that makes the film much more interesting than other actors could do. I have to say that Bruhl gave the best performance of the film because you relate to his push to be the best and his bluntness to all his instructions to his team.The other performances from Olivia Wilde, Julian Rhind-Tutt and Natalie Dormer are all short but memorable. Overall I can not recommend this film enough. If you get the chance see this film.
