When barreling down the straightaway or maneuvering around opponents at dangerously high speed, Bale’s focused expression subtly communicates the character’s undeniable pleasure behind the wheel.
The film is a visual treat, an expertly crafted piece of sun-burnished Americana, with enough thrilling sequences to make it worthy of a big-screen excursion.
While the film is long, it rips along at extreme velocity — and not just when it’s on the racetrack — thanks to a panoply of colourful, entertaining characters.
Beautiful Hollywood who-will-win-the-race craftmanship. Bale and Damon have ok chemistry and the plot is a cliche but moving towards the end but the magic is in the race scenes which are marvellous!
