Rush is an exhilarating race movie!

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2014)

'Rush' is a biographical sports drama, capturing the drama off and on the race track between rival race car drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda during the 1976 Formula One motor-racing season.
'Rush' builds up well, and after a decent first half, it delivers with an immensely satisfying and exciting second half, complete with powerful acting, excellent music score, intense race sequences, and firm direction.
A dramatic and highly watchable movie not to be missed, Hans Zimmer is as reliable as ever when staging moving music, and during the final races his score is profoundly important to getting your nerves on edge for the showdown between the two Formula One racers. Emotionally wrenching and heart-poundingly gripping in the closing stages, 'Rush' is Ron Howard's latest winner in the movie industry.
