Very good

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2014)

The film is just over 2 hours long, but when it was over it seemed like I had been in the cinema about 30 minutes.
The film centres on the battle for the 1976 Formula 1 World Championship, and the rivalry between the Austrian Nikki Lauda and the British playboy James Hunt.
The two are depicted as enemies, but in actual fact they were good friends who trusted and respected each other on, as well as off-track. This bit of artistic licence does not spoil the film and is reasonable in order to make the battle between the two for the F1 crown more intense.
These two characters are total opposites but as their lives are explored it also acknowledges the value of an enemy, something to beat. I believe this is a commentary on human nature in that the best of us shines when we have something to beat or overcome. movie is very good made, but some scenes could be extended a little more
