At the heart of zip-zapping cars, stylish track settings, and glamourous ambiance that suffuses a seductive appeal towards the viewers, there lies something that reaches out plainly without experiencing any difficulties. As the film moves from its prologue sequence, the understanding dawns upon the mildly chuckling masses spread out in the dark before the big screen- "Its a Brad Pitt Runner".
However, to me-"I am not so sure!"
Most definitely Brad Pitt portraying the role of Sunny Hayes leaves a mark that validates my earlier claim. However, Damson Idris playing Joshua Pearce(a teammate of Pitt’s) and Kerry Condon in the role of Kate McKenna do stir attention and embroil the audience in their own way. In fact-giving them the extra push is the underestimated(according to me) Javier Bardem, who as Ruben Cervante dives amidst the limelight as a distressed but calling’spade a spade’ company owner requiring a bit of magic to pull off.
From the onset the movie rests mostly on the world of racing cars, where multiple real-life personalities affiliated with the sports make their presence known. While, the other more secluded personalities keep their presence felt through underhanded maneuvers. That might not be quite unfamiliar to sports fanatics and F1 enthusiasts. Moreover, in a balancing act Brad Pitt tries to add different flavors-in which he triggers that odd smile from the watchers, makes them utter’oohs and aahhs’, and even showcases that despite experience, he can still embroil people using for starters older or more acute traits such as’good looks’.
Still-F1: The movie suffers from its odd blemish. This is witnessed within the plot, which is least visible from the naked eye. Following the claim, the tactics and strategies depicted in the movie becomes questionable when Pitt makes it look too easy. Despite the same, Director Joseph Kosinski continues his affinity for action-packed thrillers by continuing from where he left off in Top Gun: Maverick.
He instills cinematic experience that doesn’t need a good story to bind it together, characters that bond gradually with screentime engagement, and certain visual treats that might be enjoyable a lot more in IMAX screens.
Overall, its a fine ride, leaving aside the rough tumbles, spills, and maybe dangerous accidents.
