This is not a good movie, but it is a compelling one. It tells the story of the Ford motor company's quest to unseat Ferrari's dominance in the legendary 24 hours of Le Mans race. It does this through the lens of the relationship between Colby Shelby, race car builder, and Ken Miles, race car driver. The race scenes are well done, and exciting. The acting, and writing, are a bit.....much. I have seen Christian Bale and Matt Damon, who play Miles and Shelby respectively, in much better performances, but watching their performances in this is like watching a car crash. You just can't take your eyes off of them. They make weird choices.....like Damon's chewing gum in pivotal scenes of the film, which I guess is to display the character's nervousness or something, but just comes off as gross, or Bale's cartoonish impersonation of a British man from the 1960's. I see on his Wikipedia page that Bale is British, but the insults he uses to other drivers in the film, are very British and not universal.....for example, I don't think he uses the 'f' word once. Two kinds of people will like this movie, racing fans, and fans of good bad movies.
