Yeah, I suspect it embellishes a lot, but looks like it could be fun.

Looks like it is based on the book Go Like Hell which is an excellent read btw.

Looks like a perfect revenge movie for me to take my wife to see.


She is still in debt to me for making me go see "Pitch Perfect 2" with her.

Hmm... I usually avoid ALL movies involving bike/car racing but this looks interesting.

Will watch.



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph

Oh that looks AWESOME.

Was a shock to the Italians and their fast cars.
Shelby was a fantastic car designer....

Also, I now understand why Matt Damon and Christian Bale were waving the green flag at the Indy 500.

Thought so too but turns out the rights on that book are with Legendary Studios, so they used "different sources" - whatever that means - for this movie.

The book is indeed brilliant, and maybe better off for an entire series as it spans way too much time and people for even a 3h movie.

I wonder which year they are going to base this movie on?

Quite honestly, so few movies are made that center on auto racing that it would be a travesty NOT to watch this if you are in any way, shape or form a fan of auto racing.

It’s hard to make a great racing movie. This looks like a STRONG contender. Theater-worthy even if just for the sounds.

Yup. Since 1970 these are the only "great" ones I can think of. Please feel free to add more if I have forgotten any:

Le Mans
Rush
Talladega Nights (yeah it's a comedy but I think it captured the whole NASCAR culture perfectly)


And then you have the ones I would consider to be "ok" or just plain bad:

Driven
Days of Thunder



And by "auto racing" movies I'm talking about professional leagues/competition so stuff like "Cannonball Run" or the Herbie movies don't count.

Grand Prix and Le Mans. Rush was too, but it was more about the "racers" than the "racing".
Otherwise, pretty much has to be some kind of documentary style film.

Driven is a guilty pleasure of mine. Pretty much a rework of Grand Prix and the CGI was too obvious, but I still like it for some reason.
Days of Thunder is Top Gun on the ground, so kind of have to like it too. Just that neither is in the same league as racing movies.

Jon Bethnal cleaned up well

So a Bourne, Batman and Punisher movie, could be good and will watch it smile

Looks a bit overdone, but I am watching it because it also looks really good!


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!
