RUSH (2013) Oh boy! This is one helluva ride- easily my second most favorite racing-movie of all-time! First of all, I have to say it, this movie taught me something I would have never accepted: Chris The Thor Hemsworth is more than a Brad Pitt look-alike with a brutish accent- he can actually act- as a matter of fact, he can do a pretty decent job of it, as in acting, I mean not as in acting as in temporary but acting as in acting (for many years I thought YWCA stood from your wife can act). Daniel Bruhl (Sherlocks sidekick in Fifth Estate) is brilliant as Niki Lauda, just brilliant, and stole the show from Thors James Hunt. The rivalry between the Formula One drivers is unbelievable- did all these really happen? - you bet! Its all based on true events and I am not talking about Captain Phillips true events - I am talking word for word true events. Whenever Hunt and Lauda share the screen its just magic, and the dialogues are perfect. The final race is really nail biting, hey! if Fast and the Furious 6 is as good then I have to watch that. Ron Howard creates another one-on-one drama as good as Frost/Nixon but perhaps a little bit more bizarre. Memorable quotes: -A wise man gets more from his enemies than a fool from his friends. -Do you really think it upsets me, by calling me a rat- just because I look like one. Finally, whats the #1 racing-movie in my list- its SENNA (2011), the documentary on Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna. And #3 is probably the Japanese Tv Series Engine (2005) starring the excellent Takuya Kimura.
