An emotionally enthralling movie.

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2015)

I just watched this movie today, only knowing a little about the plot. I know very little about Formula 1 racing, as I've not a very big sports guy, but damn, was I impressed with this. I rooted for both Hunt and Louda, portrayed brilliantly by Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl, which is quite unusual for me as I normally would be quick to take sides in movies such as these that surround rivalry and competition. This only shows how incredibly Rush handled it's characters and their motives. The cinematography used by Ron Howard throughout this movie was top notch, I felt immersed in every scene. There were many emotional aspects of this movie that I also liked, which connected me to the characters a lot more. Ultimately, I couldn't find a thing wrong with Rush when I tried, it is simply perfect for what it was going for, telling an interesting and down to earth story based on true events.
