Ford v Ferrari

Rated PG-13
2 hours 32 minutes
Starring: Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal

Just when I start wondering if there are any good movies being released anymore, along comes one like this!  It was just a good, solid movie about the battle between Ford and Ferrari to create the best car and win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.  Set in 1966, Ford was tanking and needed something to rebuild their reputation, and decided this race was it.  Creating the car was no easy task, and was made much harder by having to battle with executives not giving the right people the power to do what was needed to accomplish their goal!  Matt Damon plays Caroll Shelby and tries to help everyone make it all work.  Christian Bale plays driver Ken Miles, who is very rough around the edges, but is also the smartest driver there is and knows exactly what they need to do to win.  Great characters and story, along with amazing camera shots and sound.  It kept me on the edge of my seat!
