'Rush' is the story about the rivalry of British James Hunt(Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian Niki Lauda(Daniel Brühl) in formula one.

This film manages to show that rivalry from both sides and incredibly leaves you unable to choose who you would rather come out on top. That is one thing - among others - that this film does remarkably well. You become truly invested in these characters and their ambitions and their rivalry.

Chris hemsworth gave an incredible performance and managed to break free off his role as Thor in this movie. Making me really believe he was James Hunt. However, Daniel Brühl really stole the show here with, in my opinion, an Oscar worthy performance. He got into the frame of mind of this real person and blew me away with his performance.

Another note to add is that I'm not a formula 1 fan at all. You don't need to be to watch this film because the rivalry may be in racing but that isn't whats important. Its the rivalry and the character development done so well by everyone taking part in this film.

This film glued my eyes to the screen throughout and there really wasn't a dull second. This is master performance from Chris Hemsworth and especially from Daniel Brühl and i would highly recommend this film is you haven't already seen it.

When I started this movie I wasn't expecting too much. I thought I was going to get a badly acted run of the mill horror. But as the movie progressed I started to find myself getting invested in the plot and the main character. However, my new found hope for the movie was tarnished when it came to the torture itself. There is so much more that could have been done with character development and plot but it just seemed like it couldn't be bothered. It turned into a movie where you could predict every move up until the end.

To me it kind of felt like hostel where if more time and effort had been taken it could have been really good and got the audience invested but sadly it was not the case.

When watching a film like this I kind of hope to see the torture at hand but this movie lacked in this aspect. Advertising a movie as horror and torture and not providing it is disappointing.

This isn't a terrible movie by any means but it isn't exactly good. If you want a sort of popcorn flick to watch with some friends by all means give it a go but this isn't a movie that stood out to me at all.
