I initially thought Rush was a documentary on Formula 1, until I found it out it was a full fledged, thrill a minute ride directed by Ron Howard. An ardent follower of F-1 till the time Schumi ruled the circuit, I' say Rush is one of the best movies made on sports and perhaps the greatest ever on racing.
It brings out the true spirit, the love of the sport, the rivalry that these drivers have, or rather had, now that the safety parameters are much much better and the circuits lesser raw to test the drivers. The fight and fear inside each driver to drive the 600 odd kg cars, facing death at every turn and corner of the circuit are portrayed unabashedly in the movie.
Technically the movie is brilliant. Amazing acting by Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl. Great score again by Hans Zimmer. Its hard to see that such movies don't get the recognition they deserve at the big awards.
5/5 for this one from me. Perhaps a little late on the review part here, but hey, great movies deserve publicity. If you have not watched the movie, please do so.
