Rush

So now I finally see what all the fuss was about Rush.  It's a superb Ron Howard film that chronicles the true life of iconic car racers Niki Lauda (David Bruhl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) during their competitive years.  Now I don't have much interest in car racing personally, but I quickly discovered that the racing aspect wasn't what the movie was really about.  It was about the approach to life of these two very different men and how they ultimately learned respect for one another.  The movie just has a great story with racing as a backdrop.  It never lags, thanks to the directing and editing.  Hard not to compare it to the classic Chariots Of Fire.
