Ford v Ferrari
Ford v Ferrari - directed by the outstanding James Mangold - revs its way into cinemas. It's an excellent film on one of the industry's unsung heroes, Ken Miles (by Christian Bale). As the title implies, the film contains flawless acting, good directing, stunning racing sequences, and a gripping underdog narrative that will appeal to a wide variety of audiences.
Bale is the genuine outstanding performance and star in this film. This is one of his most stellar performances to date. Ken Miles is an excellent example of an everyday hero. He is quite harsh and overly frank with his coworkers as a professional. While he may have an unpleasant personality, Ken Miles is a devoted father and spouse.
Bale imbues Miles with a natural style and a genuine sense of humor as he takes control of the GT40. All the racing moments are flawless. They are neither careless nor excessive, and quite unique compared to other films of the same genre. The peril and suspense are both tangible and dramatic. Ford v Ferrari is a one-of-a-kind examination of the bond that a racing driver shares with his race, his car, and his career.
