Went to see this at Linwood with Granty-Boy and we both had pretty big reservations about it - it could be really good but it could equally be really really bad. In the end we were both pretty happy with it.
The story itself is ridiculous ... in the sense that if it wasn't based on a true story you'd immediately shout about how stupid and unbelievable it is. Ain't life funny sometimes!?
The driving sequences were good and - at times - genuinely nerve-wracking.
David Harbour was really good ... and Geri Spice was not all that bad. Crazy to see her not wearing white. :-))
Unfortunately, if you're a fan of racing you can see the glaring holes in the story ... like no practice, no qualifying, how many clutch gear-changes were shown when these haven't been used in race cars for decades!?
Other things that annoyed me :
In the last Academy race ... of course he was starting in last place and had to overtake every other car to win. Why?!?
In his first race for his licence he was running in 4th and then got creamed from behind and didn't finish. Why was he apologising like it was his fault?
63/100.
