FORD v FERRARI
It’s “Rush” meets “The Art of Racing in the Rain” as the Ford Motor Company takes on Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Ex-race car driver/car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) & race car driver/mechanical engineer Ken Miles (Christian Bale) team up for & butt heads against Corporate Ford heads in their attempt to build a better & faster car than the famed Ferrari auto racing powerhouse. Damon & Bale give outstanding performances as individuals at the top of their game but considered renegades because they refuse to bow to corporate wishes. The terrific supporting cast also add great depth to the film. It’s a thrilling true story as these underdogs challenge the perennial winners. For race fans, there is plenty of crash & burn action to rev your engines. A great sense of humor runs throughout to breakup those hair raising, hang on to your seats, intense moments. Watch these men push themselves & their cars to their limits. Beyond the exhilaration & excitement on the raceway, there is very touching & emotional story about friendship. Even if you aren’t into car racing movies, give this a try because it may surprise you.
