Rush

Saw the movie RUSH tonight by Ron Howard and it's excellent!
I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Very well done.
Took me back to the late seventies a little when I was reading about F1 in Road&Track.
It was a prescreening a friend had tickets too. It opens everywhere on Friday.

It is on our list to see. We will wait a few weeks for the rush to see Rush dies down.

That is one I would pay to see in a theater. The guy they got to play Mr Hunt looks so much like him.

My 10 year old son is really disappointed this is a R rated movie. Is it that bad? He really wants to see it.

Depends on what you think is acceptable for him to see?

There is some bad language, some nudity. And the crash is very realistic with graphic scenes of the hospital treatment after.

There is no part I would shay would make him jump out of the seat, but I felt the pain during the crash - as someone that does race, that scene is my worst nightmare...

Just saw it...excellent, but LOUD!

I read a recent review with Ron Howard about the film and he stated that he could not waste million dollar race cars on the crash scenes so they are all CGI. Very well done. By the way when asked of Ron, "do you drive exotic sports cars yourself"? His response was, "no, actually we have a Volvo and Suburban"!

The racing will go down as some of the best on the big screen. James Hunt is apply played as a sex loving wild man. Not for kids........lots of nude scenes.

Gosh guys I saw it last night and was underwhelmed. However, I would see it again. Perhaps I had very high expectations. YMMV

Going to see it tomorrow.

I'm so glad I got to see the real thing back in the 70s and early 80s! Living in SoCal back then, Long Beach hosted Formula 1 from '76 to '83. Great times!

Saw it tonight and thought it was great.

The way they wove the actual footage in was a neat touch.
