A true ride

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2015)

I watched this movie at home one night after a friend suggested it as a very intense movie. I've checked this title out a while ago and was not attracted to the subject or anything about it for that matter. After 107 minutes my brain was intrigued, my heart was mesmerized and i stopped for a moment just to ask myself what has happened. I was drawn into the plot and i lived it side by side with the actors, i watched myself fail and get up again, die and be reborn. This movie reaches out to you and pulls out the inner self that wants more, that knows it can do more and keeps you on the edge of the seat for the entire duration. I started laying out in bed all covered up ready to fall asleep and ended up on the edge of the bed just 10-15 inches away from the screen. Excellent performance from Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons. This is what a movie should be about. Passion, intensity, willpower. Best movie i have seen in a long time and one of the few that have ever "spoken" to me. Go watch it ! It is worth every second of it.
