Oh yeah, my dad raced at Sebring. I grew up on this stuff. Can't wait.

Looks pretty cool

Not to get off topic but that trailer also makes me sad to see what’s happened to Detroit

I’m talking about what’s happened to the working man in Detroit and the domino effect that’s happened to everything in that city

I agree with all that.

Really good. Packed theater against Frozen 2, which had me surprised.
Great performances from Bale and Damon.

No idea how true to life the script was, but it was believable.

The documentary version is on Netflix. Most of the facts are the same.

Great movie. In addition to the documentary check out S1E6 of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime. James May did a really nice segment on it.

Finally saw a la HBO. Was disappointed. The driving scenes were bad with a few exceptions. Haven't seen a good "car" movie since Vanishing Point and Two Lane Blacktop

Thanks for that. Will have to check it out.

We just watched it a few nights ago. Really enjoyed it. Bale and Damon were great.

Went into it blind and was thoroughly entertained. Bale is a freak talent.

Agree, I could enjoy watching Bale in just about anything.

Loved this film. I read that Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise almost starred in it. I'd like to see them link up again.
