In the mid-1970s, charismatic English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) share an intense rivalry in Formula 1 racing. Driving vehicles that are little more than gas-filled, rolling bombs, Hunt and Lauda burn up the track, all the while pushing themselves to the breaking point of physical and mental endurance. Meanwhile, the women (Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara) in their lives can only watch as both drivers risk death with every lap. Read More Read Less

Wendy Ide Times (UK) Howard creates a persuasive sense of the time and place, and the race sequences are impressively mounted. This is thrillingly tense stuff, even if you know how the story panned out. Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online While it has its moments of sentimentality, the film as a whole is rather shallow and fails to capture the soul of either man. Rated: C Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk This thrilling drama is no more for petrol-heads only than Titanic is solely of interest to historic ship enthusiasts. Rated: 4/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …an excellent two-man biopic from a literate Peter Morgan script… Rated: 4/5 Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Filmed with flash and gusto, “Rush” mixes common sports movie techniques with its more serious dramatic focus. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The filmmaking lacks the adrenaline rush suggested by the title. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Tom G A really immersive watch, and follows a very interesting story; cleverly done by Howard in terms of getting us to have mixed emotions about both of the films main characters, with both acting like protagonists and antagonists at throughout the film. Where this film slightly falls short is through its provision of a *slight* exaggeration on the personality and bawdiness of James Hunt, as well as subtly feeling somewhat like a documentary instead of a creative piece of work at times. Other than that, an excellent film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Hash L She’s no 06 Corolla I tell ya 🏎️good film great bunch of lads. What a James Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Noah g W movie, i enjoyed it alot as an F1 fan Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review OTÁVIO D This movie is really good and cinematographic, the movie shows the rivalry of Niki lauda and James hunt in theirs carrers of formula showing how they got in formula 1 and about the money crisis of theirs lifes and how was the crash of Niki lauda on nurburgring and theirs lives, overrall a really good movie that is good for the adult public 20+ and for the teens 14+ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: RUSH – No Limite da Emoção Elenco: @chrishemsworth @thedanielbruhl @oliviawilde @alexandramarialara Modelo: #esporte #F1 #ação #aventura Duração: 2h 3m Ano: 2013 Minha opinião: Comparado este filme que as de Thor Amor e Trovão na atuação de Chris é incomparável. Com em Thor é lastimável e aqui em Rush é uma das suas melhores atuações. E claro que a atuação de Bruhi também é impecável. São a água e óleo de como a atuação deles é o diferencial deste filme. Que conta uma historia verídica do duelo de Niki Lauda e James Hunt em 1976. Temos duas personalidades distintas; Niki um homem extremamente setico, perfeccionista e calculista. Hunt totalmente sem noção, adrenalina pura, festeiro, mulherengo, beberrão. E claro que neste mesmo período temos Emerson Fittipaldi também disputando. Um ano onde James não tinha uma equipe, até que aparece uma vaga na Maclaren e ele corre para conseguir esta vaga. E Niki corre pela Ferrari. E corrida por corrida os dois batalham. E a cada corrida uma disputa mais frenética e com espetadas um no outro. Quando Niki esta na frente na pontuação ele sofre o maior acidente de sua vida que quase consome ela. Que boa parte do seu corpo é queimada e seu rosto também. Neste período Hunt vai vencendo as corridas e alcançando Niki. Neste paralelo a vida amorosa de Hunt casado com Suzy esta se separando por suas festas, enquanto isso a esposa de Marlene cuidando de Lauda na recuperação. E Niki antes mesmo de ter alta ele sai do hospital e retorna as pistas e assim acontece até a ultima corrida que definiria o campeão de 76. E quem vence? Hunt, sua única vez que foi campeão de F!. Depois disso Hunt continua em suas festas e se torna apresentador de TV. Falece 1993 pré-maturo. Mas a disputa de 76 foi marcado por esta grande disputa. Será que farão o filme de Senna e Prost? Com certeza esta batalha é gigante. E para todo fã de Senna é um Sonho que pode se tornar verdade. Roteiro e enredo bem feito. Vale apena assistir? Sim recomendo. Nota: 8 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Terry H Visually good movie based on a true story. The divergent character personalities competing for a racing title clash throughout the movie. Has an element of a modern day tortoise and the hare tale. Worth the watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
