Movie Op: Rush (2013)


Dir. Ron Howard, Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Brühl, Olivia Wilde


 
The movie rush is a "based on a true story" movie where two Formula 1 drivers battle each other out through their racing lives in the 70's. 

The first ten minutes of the movie wants you to walk out because of how many times Hunt (Hemsworth) gets in bed with someone rather than in a car. It just goes from scene to scene with him in the hospital, airplane bathroom, and on the racetrack. Then the story goes to  Niki Lauda (Brühl), a mediocre new driver in Formula 3 (which isn't as cool as F1).  Most of the story goes fairly smoothly and instantly goes to the two going pro with no time at all to catch up on to what's going on in the movie. After what happens to Lauda during a crash is a part that wakes someone up during a movie and would be emotional and indecent to some people. The movie goes on to Hunt winning races with Lauda in the hospital and Lauda goes on to racing against Hunt in one of the biggest races of the decade. Unfortunately for Lauda, the roads are wet and he decides to bail out. Hunt goes on to be a world champ in F1 racing with Lauda sparing his live DNFing in the rain. 

The movie gets really exciting toward the end and does a good job on keeping the story together with a small new love for racing.
