Everything about this movie is top notch, the acting is consistently good, the writing is pitch perfect, the direction is taught and efficient, the staging and editing it first rate. Sadly though the racing scenes lack something, they aren't exciting. That's a big problem because although you can view Ford V Ferrari as a domestic drama, a tale of corporate skullduggery, a story of achievement against the odds or even a buddy movie in the end it all has to be about the race.
