Movie: Ford v Ferrari (2019)***


This was a movie movie. I don't have a term for it right now, but its the kind of movie that reminds me the movies in the 80s and 90s. They were all-around good, with good acting, production and writing. You're drawn into the movie and lose the actors in their characters. Ford vs Ferrari was one of those.
Apparently in the 60s Ford cars were doing terrible, so they decided to try to include race cars in their image. They employed Damon's character to help usher in the vroom vroom. He hires Bale's character as a race driver to compete in the Le Mans 24-hour race. Ford's new second-in-charge throws money wrenches in along the way.
Damon and Bale were fantastic. The action sequences were enthralling. The story left me with a good feeling.
This gets three stars***. Its a good and quality film, but its not a favorite and I'm not sure how often I'll have the urge to watch it, again.
I watched this movie in theater.
