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.

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

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

As somebody who has absolutely 0 interest or knowledge in motorsports, I must say the film does a good job of easing you into that world. As for the film as a whole the only word that comes to mind is average. I won't be in a RUSH to watch it again.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

With solid storytelling and a great duo in Hemsworth and Bruhl, this movie is a great portrayal of two very different, and often conflicting, lifestyles. Even if you don't really care about racing, this movie is worth the time.

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.

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.

This thrilling drama is no more for petrol-heads only than Titanic is solely of interest to historic ship enthusiasts.

Filmed with flash and gusto, “Rush” mixes common sports movie techniques with its more serious dramatic focus.
