I have a better Italian accent than Frank Grillo.
OK this is not a great movie, but it is an essential one. I've always been a car nut, and in my youth had a serious flirtation with the Italian breed, a Lambo was sort of a distant dream. However this movie, whether fact or fiction, fills in the blanks very nicely, despite its glaring limitations.
In all its fairly well cast with the exception of Mira Sorvino, she has joined the list of Tired Worn & Used up with Halle Berry. Anyway she doesn't occupy enough screen time to cause any ruination, the movie itself takes care of that. Grillo does succeed in bringing the necessary intensity, drive, and vision of the Signore to the role, but the script drags and its uneven and missing key elements. The strained relationship between Ferrucio and his son was painful and somewhere along the line a sale of the company is orchestrated but we're left wondering why? A passable 90 minutes and to my dying day I will always believe if you put me behind the wheel of a Countach I could smoke Enzo Ferrari no matter what he's driving. 6.5/10.
