F1: The Movie

 

An aging race car driver(Pitt) is recruited by the crew chief of an F1 team (Bardem) to drive and mentor a rookie driver for a failing race franchise. Great cast and great production values, but the script falls flat and into sports movie cliche too often for this to rise above the recent pack of racing movies. Its not a bad movie by any means, but 7.9 is way too high for this film. There is only so much drama one can ring from what tires are on the car. For a better time, try Rush, Ford vs. Ferrari or Senna all of which are far superior to this. Soft Pass
