I think to a casual viewer this is probably a decent film. To an avid F1 fan, it's not bad, but it could've been a lot better. Story line is predictable, acting is a bit cheesy at times, and although yes it is a movie, some of the action is not convincing to an F1 fan. Romance aspect of the story was unnecessary, team mate was not particularly likeable, and the general pretense of the movie is that you can win by driving dirty and the FIA pays no attention whatsoever to your illegal tactics. Gran Turismo was a better film overall in my opinion.
