I can only imagine how much better it could have been had Damon actually done research into Carroll Shelby and what he was really about.

Not to mention, Damon is about 1 1/2 feet below the height of Shelby, and his mannerisms are completely off.

Also worth noting, there's absolutely no verifiable proof to even remotely suggest Leo Beebe was even close to the villain portrayed here. I understand how protagonists/antagonists work in film, but for sobbing out loud, 'invent' that character, DO NOT drag a good mans name through the mud for the sake of theater.
