RUSH [2013]

Every 6 or 7 years director Ron Howard comes out with a pretty decent flick, whereas most of the other stuff he pumps out is audience friendly drivel.
Based on the subject matter and Howard's name, I wasn't expecting to enjoy Rush as much as I did.
Propelled by some equally strong performances by Chris Hemsworth & Daniel Brühl as Formula 1 rivals James Hunt & Niki Lauda, the film is more a character piece rather than a sporty bio-drama.  With it's slick-pacing and exciting race sequences all of which are beautifully edited & shot, Rush is superbly crafted story that is riveting from beginning to end.
