Rush Reviews

Rush is a film about a racing season — and two seasoned racers — so damned thrilling that it would compel the most stubborn Formula One hater, those people who insist mastering technology isnt a sporting enough achievement and…

Rush is gripping and deeply satisfying. I'm going with four stars and recommending that you see it.

The script by Peter Morgan delivers drama, complexity, suspense and thrills the racing sequences, in which we see the race from the point of view of the drivers, are staggering.

It's consistently engaging. Don't miss it.

The film is a triumph of storytelling and it has everything in good measure. Daniel Bruhl as Niki is spot on and ditto with Chris Hemsworth in a more memorable performance.

There are plenty of heroic moments in the film and you can't help but clap till your hands bleed.

Rush has the bone though not enough meat to make for a juicy fare on the excesses of television journalism. It leaves you wondering what director Shamin Desai would have done with his film making career had he lived.

I wouldn’t call myself a Formula One enthusiast, yet I thoroughly enjoyed Ron Howard’s Rush, a compelling drama based on the real-life rivalry between racing legends James Hunt and Niki Lauda.

RUSH had the potential to be a decent flick but too many gaping holes in the script let the plot down at crucial stages.

Rush is a half baked, uninspiring flick that evokes no response. The below average movie deserves a 1.5* from my desk. Watch it 'only' if you are an Emraan Hashmi fan.

You leave Rush feeling moderately satisfied. It's a predictable but well executed script that keeps you engrossed quite a bit.

Set in the backdrop of Formula One racing, the film documents the personality conflict and rivalry of two famous racers Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth).

Rush has all the elements to not let you sleep. It has an unnecessary thumping background score and over-the-top dialogue.

Ron Howard doesn’t succumb to either. His splendid execution strikes the right balance to give us a film that is visually stunning, moving, nail-bitingly intense and heroically entertaining, just like a Formula One Grand Prix.
