Rush - the movie : No spoilers
Rush tells the tale of the on-track and off-track rivalry of Formula 1 drivers
Niki Lauda and James Hunt in the 1970's.
Directed by Ron Howard [Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind], the film feels more
European than Hollywood. That is no coincidence, as it is filmed in Europe.
The excellent screenplay by Peter Morgan [Frost/Nixon, The Queen], is bound to be
nominated for an Academy Award.
Chris Hemsworth portrays the English playboy Hunt wonderfully and no doubt this
performance will help open even more career path doors.
Portraying a pragmatic but often blunt Lauda, Daniel Brühl is so good that you
forget that he is just an actor.
Its MA15+ rating means this is not a family film but it is definitely one that mature
audiences will find captivating.
Drama, sex, action, comedy. It is all here for a great night's entertainment.
You don't need to be a motor racing fan to enjoy it and the human spirit of the
film means you are bound to come out at the end feeling better for having seen it.
