Rush (2013 Ron Howard)

Not overly convinced by Chris Hemsworth's acting, Daniel Brühl better, and Peter Morgan hasn't really written much of a story (the women are particularly underwritten). Q was certainly bowled over by super-fast kinetic editing - film is in fact edited so fast that BAFTA-winners Daniel Hanley and Mike Hill are mid-way through their next film before this one's even finished. But, I couldn't help wondering, wouldn't a scene that cuts between just two cameras (one in each car) and a long shot not have made a tense scene, or something that doesn't cut three times in a second? I think I know the answer to that. Anyway, it's very well done, and Anthony Dod Mantle and his team of a billion second unit cameramen have done a great job catching all the footage necessary, and I liked the way the real Hunt and Lauda (now 65) are meshed in at the end.
