My quick rating - 7.8/10. Not knowing the story behind this little rivalry, at least I don't have that comparison of real life vs movie nagging at me. So, for the movie itself. I thought this was a very well made film, top to bottom. The acting is flawlessly done to apture what would seem to be tension that must've been going on when it is the little guys being stepped on by the corporate monsters. In this case Ford, and I am sure if the battle was such as this movie describes, the way Ford treated Shelby was identical. Bale is superb but I don't often recall that guy ever hacving a poor acting day at the office. Editing for the actual race scenes looks great and keeps you at the edge of your seat, even though I am sure you know the outcome of every race. To take such a story and actually make the non-viewer actually care about the characters is mission accomplished. No other way would a story like this be such a good film and not just be chalked off to a docudrama. Definitely worth all the good hype. Side note, I miss my Mustangs......doesn't look like I'll be owning one of those again, ever.
