Movie Review: Rush (2013)

I usually don’t watch movies about cars because I find them to be quite boring. “Rush” however surprised me with its execution. It was a very well done drama movie. Yes, the movie is about Formula One cars but the main focus is put on the interpersonal relationships. The clever and authentic depictions of both protagonists are ultimately what make this movie great. It’s not just another movie about racing cars. After all, this movie is based on real events which makes the movie even more interesting. I knew that of course because when I was a child Niki Lauda was a total superstar here in Germany.
The rivalry between Niki Lauda and James Hunt is a legendary tale of competitiveness and recklessness. Very action-packed and insightful.
Daniel Brühl’s and Chris Hemsworth’s performances were really strong by the way.

Final verdict: would recommend
