Ron Howard's "Rush"

Jeff Lee · 09-28-2013, 12:24 AM

While I have yet to see Mongoose & Snake, it sounds mediocre and it's only in one theater across town, I saw Rush today with my wife.
She loved it! I thought it was perhaps the best racing film ever made. From first scene to last scene, your captivated. Even a non-racing fan will love this movie. Acting and directing should be Oscar material.

I'm going this week. Supposed to be Ron Howard's best.

I went to see it last night and agree completely with Jeff Lee; in my opinion it's likely the best racing movie made to date. The on track action should satisfy any racing enthusiast, while the personal relationship and rivalries in the story will also entertain the non-racers. One thing I liked is that the use of computer generated images seemed to be kept in check; and were used only to enhance rather than replace real footage, while still keeping it believeable. Ron Howard did a great job!

I saw it too and enjoyed it very much.

I saw Snake and mongoo$e, don't waste your money! the racing was all NHRA stock footage.
Story and acting were OK but it's a sad representation of our sport. Down right boring.
Heart like a wheel was actually a better movie.
I wouldn't even recommend that you rent it!
