Verdict: A brilliant biopic story of two racing greats

Story: Historical sports dramas are sometimes difficult to give the full justice too. We see how each of them get into racing, challenge their personal lives to get there and what more can you say about the racing scenes breath taking. The fans who were lucky enough to see the excitement unfold live would know the story but for those who didn’t you get a real feel for it. (10/10)

 

Actor Review: Chris Hemsworth – James Hunt, the cocky ladies’ man of racing. Hemsworth is brilliant in the role with perfect accent and charm the character was. (9/10)
