In the mid-1970s, charismatic English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) share an intense rivalry in Formula 1 racing. Driving vehicles that are little more than gas-filled, rolling bombs, Hunt and Lauda burn up the track, all the while pushing themselves to the breaking point of physical and mental endurance. Meanwhile, the women (Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara) in their lives can only watch as both drivers risk death with every lap.
Ever since I developed an obsession with Formula 1, all the old F1 fans have been telling me to watch this movie. To start off, you don't have to be a Formula 1 fan to watch or like this movie at all. However, if you are one and still haven't checked Rush out, you definitely should.
As a sports movie, Rush is an incredibly crafted movie by Ron Howard and Peter Morgan that is very entertaining and focuses on the massive difference between the 2 main characters and how they develop throughout the movie. The cast, and especially Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl as they genuinely emotionally attach the audience to each of their respective characters in a very good way. Also due to their acting and to the brilliant screenplay, you can't really side with one character over the other as both their flows and good parts appear in this film. I just have a slight problem with the movie's pace at just minor instants but overall its a very fun ride.
