Ford v Ferrari eyes the number one spot at the North American box office

Christian Bale dons the role of the crotchety Brit race car driver Ken Miles who was Shelby’s choice for testing the car.

Ford v Ferrari has evoked a positive critical reception. It holds a 92 per cent rating at Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus reads, “Ford v Ferrari delivers all the polished auto action audiences will expect — and balances it with enough gripping human drama to satisfy non-racing enthusiasts.”

The Indian Express’ Andrew Amsan gave the film 4 stars. He wrote, “It’s a great relief that the movie, unlike most sports flicks, features no montages and hazy flashback scenes. It’s all in the moment. The biggest challenge for any movie based on real-life incidents is to keep the audience hooked as the eventual outcome is no secret, and Ford v Ferrari manages to do that, thanks to its lead characters.”

“Your heart is bound to race as Miles hits those tight corners, you will feel a rush of blood when Shelby takes those bold decisions from the pit stop, and at the end of the movie, you’ll realise, it is not all about winning,” he added.
