Author Topic: Rush (2013) John Roddy Expert Film Handler Posts: 114 From: Spring, TX, United States Registered: Dec 2012 posted 09-28-2013 02:29 AM                        The plot Two certified Grade-AA bad-asses become fierce rivals in a Formula One championship. What I saw Lots and lots of fast-paced, action-packed racing goodness with a hint of tangy drama and dry humor in between. The result I should note that I didn't have the luxury of watching this from start to finish. When I first ran through it, I ended up having to abandon my seat halfway to perform some much needed maintenance on another projector. Tragic. Since then, I've gotten to watch enough bits and pieces to where I pretty much saw the whole thing. That being said, I really liked what I saw. A lot of these sports style movies seem to be nothing but cheap dramas with somewhat-interesting matches/games sprinkled in at some point. This one managed to keep a pretty consistent level of entertainment throughout, even if the race scenes were heavily abridged and comparatively short. And the scenes in between? Still very well done. There was some drama, romance, fighting, "romance," heated arguing, humor, and even nipples! (Also, somebody tell me where I can buy a "SEX - Breakfast of Champions" patch.) James and Niki both seemed to fill typical Hollywood stereotypes—the carefree champion who wins at everything and gets all the girls, and the overly precise asshole who focuses on every possible little detail while driving everyone around him insane, respectively—but they did it well. They were strong leads for this movie, and both were a lot of fun to watch. Overall, it was very good. I'm probably going to dedicate some time to watch this through at some point. It really seems worth it. We also have it in D-BOX here, so I wanna check out how well that works. This is one of those rare films that looks like it could really take advantage of that.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 11-18-2013 11:11 PM                     the cinematography (and editing) was insane. Good story and interesting characters, and hey... I'm a sucker for Formula 1 car racing films. I'm buying this on bluray!  |  IP: Logged
