A film based on the rivalry between Ford and Ferrari for the dominance at the Le Mans endurance race had long been in works at 20th Century Fox. Initially, it was going to star Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt from an original screenplay titled Go Like Hell, by Jason Keller, the name being taken from the book, Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans by A.J. Baime. The project fell apart, however, after writers Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth drafted a script and Joseph Kosinski was brought on to direct, due to the budget being too high.

On the way home from the cinema, I couldn’t resist and pressed the gas pedal to the floor several times in my old… Ford. Translated to English
Watched
To be honest, it gives me goosebumps. I really regret that I didn’t go to the cinema. A driving film about racing with fanatically dedicated main characters. The racing episodes were impressive, and I worried about Bale and Damon as if they were family. Strong characters. Powerful movie. Don’t pass by! Translated to English
Watched
A good dramatic film about people who are passionate about their work. The main thing is to understand that the film is fiction and many historical events were changed to suit the artistic idea. But if you don’t think about it, the film is definitely worth watching. Translated to English
Watched
What a beautifully shot film this is. The acting is top notch. The racing is just amazing. I’m talking about the fact that it is clear that many scenes were filmed in reality. Still, I was not mistaken when I went to see this film in the cinema instead of Doctor Sleep. Movies can be watched over and over again. Translated to English
Watched
An excellent "sports" drama with an excellent cast. An excellent film from a technical point of view. And for acting alone you can safely give 6 points. Recommendation: watch in the original voice-over, Bale did a great job imitating a British accent. Translated to English
Watched
A very cool film about racing with characters you empathize with, a good story, high-quality drive, a super film Translated to English
Watched
Yes, this is what racing once looked like! The film perfectly conveys the atmosphere and mood of that time. A well-directed picture – which swallows you into that era and in the end spits you back into our world. But with a pleasant aftertaste. Translated to English
Watched
Good film. I would have ended it 10 minutes earlier and added one sentence to the afterword instead. This is just my personal opinion of course. Overall I can recommend it. Translated to English
just a great movie. there’s nothing more to say. or or else Christian Bale – watch him play Translated to English
Watched
The film is very lively, real. Great duo of actors, Chrisian Bale is amazing. Probably one of the best films about auto racing. After watching, my wife wanted to take her license) Translated to English
Watched
A typical story about stubborn daredevils who achieve their goal despite stupid corporations. Everything is just like in the manual: noisy, straightforward, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. The pathetic dialogues seem to have been written not by a screenwriter, but by a neural network. The racing is good – thanks for that Translated to English
Watched
Good movie with great actors! Given that Damon played better than Bale. A story about friendship and rivalry between two great car companies. James Mangold, after a successful Wolverine, gives a great story 2 years later, also at the same level ️ Translated to English
An interesting story, the spirit of the past, excellent casting, both nostalgic and very modern cinema based on real events, drama and dynamics, nice sound and camera work. A film about strong-willed men and beautiful races. Translated to English
Watched
There are films that seem to be watched in one sitting. This is one of them. And this is a film about people, not machines. And the cars… "Yes, they’re just cars" Translated to English
Watched
The film is excellent, but the last 5 minutes just need to be cut out of it, replacing them with one line in the credits. Translated to English
Watched
An excellent duet of actors and beautiful rides in the film adaptation of the everyday life of racing drivers. 8.5 out of 10. "Race" is better. Directing, Zimmer, more soulfulness. Translated to English
Watched
It’s hard to single out just one thing, everything came together here – the script, direction, atmosphere, sound and of course the gorgeous Damon and the brilliant Bale again!!! Oscar is close))) Translated to English
Watched
propaganda of perdomobilism, principled show-offs, touching romance of a mechanical family… Translated to English
Bale is incredibly cool. Sometimes it seems to me that he can cope with any role. And the tandem of Meta Damon and Bale is simply tearing it apart. By the way, the sound in the film is worth special attention, as is the soundtrack. I have only the highest rating. Translated to English
Watched
An interesting, not boring film, great acting by the main actors, beautiful picture. Made many people read what these 24 Hours of Le Mans are. Translated to English
Watched
Film at 7 thousand rpm. Great acting. Good sports interest. Risk, excitement and all this is justified by professionalism. Translated to English
Watched
An interesting story based on real events. Both main characters are very charismatic. Damon and Bale played their roles perfectly. Very cool soundtracks, the ending is very touching and unforgettable. The downside for me was the length of the film. But this is to penetrate more deeply Translated to English
Watched
There’s nothing special about the film, but the well-shot and intense racing sequences, coupled with the relatable storyline between the characters, are gripping. Translated to English
Watched
Good biographical story. Excellent performance by Christian Bale, bright characters, wonderful sound, and wonderful racing. Translated to English
Watched
I’m not a fan of racing at all, but the movie is so well made that it’s hard to put emotions into a review. Everything is great, from the visuals to the dialogue. Particularly and naturally, the lion’s share of success goes to the actors, in particular to Bale, whose charisma will not penetrate many people. Bravo Translated to English
