I came into this movie not knowing the history of Shelby's involvement with Ford regards to racing, and I found it to be an interesting story. I also found it to be full of Hollywood cliches' right down to the music that didn't surprise me at all, but it lowered my enjoyment of the movie. What really needs to be done is a documentary be produced about the relationship between Carrol Shelby and Ken Miles focusing on the development of the cars. The outcome of LeMans was a surprise and the fact that it was true was very interesting.

Reading other reviews amused me when they said Bale's accent was awful

The movie is watchable and would have gotten higher marks with just a little more creativity with the storyline. .
