RUSH - A Ron Howard film

RUSH

If Raikkonen of the present day is a F1 bad boy notable of saying rude words on TV, then his level is no match to 1970's James Hunt, who is the original bad boy of the Formula One history. James Simon Wallis Hunt is one of Britain's finest F1 racers of the past decade when he became the 1976 World Champion against all odds. Disqualified after his win at Spain and Brands Hatch and then Niki Lauda's flaming crash that caused the end of F1 days at the Nurburgring Nordschleife for good.

RUSH, a Ron Howard film, centers on a true-to-life story of one of Formula One's bad boys of the past in a very dramatic kind of way. This movie discovers James Hunt like you never seen before, giving you an edge-of-your-seat thrills as viewers dig deeper through James Hunt's career right until the fiery crash that nearly killed Niki Lauda at the Nurburgring.

Chris Hemsworth, while taking a break from wielding the hammer of the gods before November's Thor: The Dark World, is the perfect man to play the role of James Hunt even though his drinking and womanising were legendary in the James Hunt story. Daniel Bruhl, on the other hand, gets to play as the very prolific Niki Lauda, one of the most notable F1 racers of the 70's and James Hunt's fierce rival.

First impressions may not be quite as redeeming as the others but as the film progresses further and further until the fiery crash, RUSH is becoming as tense as the storyline itself. Although the suspense is a bit moderate, the thrills offered is getting more and more convincing and yes, Ron Howard sure knows how to make a true-to-life story more powerful and more compelling than an pantomime drama. It really grips the viewers with such emotion, the flavor, the power, and yes really, the perfection only this movie can pull on.

Although there is suppose to have room for improvement, I have to say that petrolheads are more than welcome to watch RUSH because we want to know James Hunt in a totally different level despite the crude thought of seeing Thor trading his hammer of the gods for a Formula One car and some track overalls.

Sometimes disappointing but it's still worth it to watch such of the finest masterpieces of 2013. Who wouldn't want to watch such a fine thing?
