I just finished watching the film Rush. I was not prepared for the flavour of the film. I had assumed something far more Hollywood was going to happen, but was pleasantly surprised that I didn't get it. My only complaint is that the pacing was a little slow at some points.
I wasn't into Formula 1 at the time this story would have taken place (though by 1976 I most certainly had discovered Doctor Who), and haven't studied enough of the history to attest to any sort of veracity, but I did like the voiceover style used for parts of the story.
Racecar driving, at that level, is a stomach-churning freakshow. I've seen enough of it, and driven a formula car, so I can attest to some of that. They make it look easy, but it sure as hell isn't.
Not a bad film at all. I quite enjoyed it.
