Falls Short if you are a car Enthusiast
19 November 2022
If you love cars and movies that embody that, you may find this one sorely lacking in that department...As a fan of almost anything Frank Grillo appears in, I was all for seeing him in this role, however, he seems miscast and I felt at times I was still seeing characters from some of his other roles, leak thru...In other words, he did seem thoroughly embedded in his role and thus did not, at least for me, come across convincingly......then the is the car action or should I say, the utter lack of it.. Aside from the opening scene of the Lambo vs Ferrari, which is played over and over again during the movie, there is almost no other car driving or action scenes worth mentioning in this movie...Compared to Ford vs Ferrari, its not even remotely in the same league as far as acting or Content and thats being kind...This movie focuses on the life and loves and melodrama of the man's choices and the consequences of them... in that sense, if Thats what you want to see, its worth a watch but if you are expecting the cars to play an equal portion of the screen time, you will be sorely disappointed... It does give a glimpse, into the mans life and its a sad tale, a man who had so much, yet had noone really in his life to share it with... However accurate that is , who really knows?
