A story of friendship, not just cars

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2015)

When I was first persuaded to watch Rush I was stubborn. I didn't like racing very much and didn't have a clue who the film was about. But as I began to watch more, I realised this wasn't a story about racing or cars, it was a story of rivalry that bordered on a friendship between two men. The story was mesmerising, on how over such a short period of time it truly established a great and powerful relationship between the two main characters that you could truly feel through the screen. You connect with them and find your heart in your throat when you watch them race, even if you already might know what's coming.
Brilliant acting and writing. This film really should have won an award.
