An insightful film into the real danger of (1970's) Formula 1

Rating: 7/10 (13 September 2013)

Ron Howard has directed a tense insight into the dangers of Formula 1, while showing how determination and intelligence strive in a world of distractions. Both Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl gave performances that summarised the drivers personalities artfully, especially the later. However, the film's constant bombardment of tense race after tense race made it lose sight, it was slightly dreary. But, it left a sweet after taste, expressing the real passion Niki Lauda had for the sport, and even more universally, that grit and determination is rewarded, despite all the negativity surrounding working hard in a world of distractions.
