Review: Having seen the trailers and TV set-up (BBC as a Grand Prix insert) I was thinking OK so Ive probably seen the best of this and its going to be clunky in parts or too far up its own a$$.But hey we can all be wrong, Ron Howard has added depth to a story I knew well, the presentation has a feel for the era the colours are sometimes harsh and edgy.The set pieces are well researched, the owners of some of the classic F1 hardware must have had an enjoyable time (not quite so sure about the Insurance Underwriters).Where the story hits the spot for me is the acting of the main protagonists, they have life and depth. Hemsworths presentation of James Hunt is uncanny its like a documentary hes almost as good as Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln.If your not a F1 fan or from the 70s it may not be more than a blokes film, but give it a go it is going to end up being a important as Apollo 13 in the life of Mr Howard and quite frankly is by far the best car racing movie ever |
