"Rush" Doesn't Go Anywhere

In watching "Rush," I lasted 8:36 before I turned it off in disgust.  This is Formula One through the eyes of a woman and it was doomed from the start.  The first question isn't about James Hunt's driving but rather who he's fucking ... and that's how it opens.

There was finally some driving and the photography was beautiful, just so damn clever and so very arty.  It must have cost a lot to get the footage they used.  Too bad it didn't give any more of the feeling of driving Formula One than you would get from a Nintendo controller.

If you were waiting for the next great racing movie then hold your seat, Mario. You ain't done waiting yet.
