A drama about the Formula 1 racing car drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda whose fierce rivalry reached a peak in the 1976 season. Hunt, the feckless philanderer and Lauda, the arrogant single minded loner.
'Rush' is a little hum drum at the outset as it sets the scene for two ambitious, and not always likeable, men in the millionaire sport but it really lifts impressively in the final hour when its focus is the dramatic, and at times horrific, 1976 Formula 1 season.
Chris Hemsworth (Hunt) and Daniel Bruhl (Lauda) are convincing in their roles.
I'm not into motor sports but I found this film utterly engrossing, especially in its second half.
★★★★
