Hunt, and Austrian driver Nick Lauda (played by Daniel Brühl) were rivals on the Formula 1 circuit. Although the movie takes place in the world of racing, it’s really more about the relationship between these two polarly opposite men, and how they pushed each other to be better – both as drivers and as people.

Olivia Wilde is Hunt’s love interest, a super model who understands the limelight and is attracted to Hunt until his ego gets too big for the relationship.

Rush is an interesting movie that’s worth seeing. A little slice of history.

Good story, some dark moments – very timely for today.

This is an adventure – and a fun one at that.

The movie is so well done in every way. Jamie Foxx, most recently seen in “Collateral,” is outstanding in the title role. As Ray goes through a plethora of both ages and emotions, Foxx shows his broad range. This is an award-worthy performance from a gifted actor.

The way the scenes move from Ray as an adult, to Ray looking back on his childhood, gives us glimpses into the events that shaped this man’s character.

The music, of course, is awesome – mostly vintage Ray Charles himself.

Well directed, well written, well shot.

Rated R for scenes of drug use and language. I think mature teens 14 and up could handle it.
