Excellently made film, but... man, it was way too long. The racing scenes are fantastic, but most of the non-racing scenes are just cookie-cutter and uninspired. There’s one female character in the film and she gets to sit at home and be the supportive wife to Christian Bale’s character. That said, this is one of Christian Bale’s best performances! He steals every scene he’s in—but, unfortunately he only is ever given the same 3 beats to play.
