Re: Movie "Rush"
It's a very good film!
IMHO, Daniel Brühl should have been nominated for a "Best Actor" Oscar for his portrayal of Niki Lauda. |

Re: Movie "Rush"
A couple of my fellow car nut buddies saw this movie 3/4 times when it was in the theaters and raved about it....unfortunately I was not able to see it then....I rented the movie a few nights ago..... I think this is a solid movie with a ggod/true plot but frankly was not that impressed...perhaps if I had seen it in the theater it would have been more impressive...it was certainly better that "LeMans" as it actually had a plot :-) my favorite is Frankenhiemers "Grand Prix"...I still wake up in the middle of the night with goosebumps thinking about that opening scene with the exhausts blaring and rolling the car out of the trailer.........
