This is one of those films that is just impossible to hate.
It’s such a well made crowdpleaser; from the acting, to the score, to the camerawork.
It’s long, but you don’t feel its length at all.
The predictability of the story is the only real issue.

7.5/10

@jordyep it's a true story film. don't complain about predictability. if a true story film wasn't predictable, it wouldn't be based on a true story.

@elicx There are several storytelling and editing techniques that prevent a writer from following a predictable story format (think about non-linear storytelling, witholding information, etc). I personally wasn’t familiar with this story, so I had no idea what to expect going into the film. The point that I’m making is that if you have the slightest bit of filmic literacy, you can fill in where everything is going after the first 20 minutes. It’s a what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach, which is fine, but it also makes the movie safe and unsurprising.

@jordyep Well, it is based on the real events. Kinda hard not to be predictable.

_Ford v Ferrari_ is an expensive, finely tuned machine that races out of the starting block and kicks into high gear until the finish.

Matt Damon is in peak form and Christian Bale keeps up the pace in this fascinating tale of the 1966 Le Mans race. Trust me, the +2-hour run time flies by so fast you won't see it pass.

Yes, I could've done without the grease monkey poetry, but any film that can stoke my interest in car racing of all things has got to be well put together.

(And, as always, go in as blind as you can and see it on the biggest screen possible.)

Damon and Bale both give great performances. The races were shot well but other than those it felt like a generic biopic. A little long but overall a solid movie that will be enjoyed by dads watching cable.

I guess it's a good sign when a movie about a thing I thought I couldn't care less about has me on the edge of my seat for more than two hours. Also, how is it possible that Christian Bale can believably play a doofus like Ken Miles and also be a convincing Bruce Wayne? That man is simply a beast when it comes to acting. Great recommendation!

Beautiful, well-made, harrowing. My second racing movie in as many days ("The Art of Racing in the Rain") delves into Ford's attempts to compete on the international racing circuit by "buying" in and hiring only the best. Of course, in standard corporate fashion, they can't just let the people do their jobs, but must constantly "manage" and meddle to "protect their investment." The film does a great job of depicting the trials and tribulations leading up to the 1966 racing season, and Matt Damon and Christian Bale are in top form here, making a strong film out what could be, with other actors, a standard racing picture. Bale's acting is enhanced by his rail-thin physique. It's truly amazing that he lost over 70 pounds to do this picture, coming off of "Vice," where he gained considerable weight to play Dick Cheney. When asked how he lost the weight, he said he "just stopped eating." You have to admire his commitment.

Matt Damon has to be one of the most underrated Hollywood actors of his time, yet, time and again, he gives exceptional performances, whether they be as quirky characters, the butt of a joke or a straight up dramatic role. This film is no exception. The way he and Christian Bale play off against each other is remarkable to watch. You don’t have to be a car fan to like this movie but if you can imagine yourself sitting in the seat of these exceptional machines you will ride every curve and straightway of this movie. It is fun. It is well performed. It is well written. It is great personal drama. I give this movie an 8 (great) out of 10. [True Life Drama]
