This movie is probably streaming by now. But on a warm Saturday July afternoon, Ray and I treated ourselves to a small popcorn, a medium Diet Coke, and over two hours with Brad Pitt in F1: The Movie. Money and time well spent. Very fun!
Brad looks great and he's just cool as Sonny Hayes. He's a broken man with a racing history, now just moving from quick gig to gig. Javier Bardem as Ruben tracks him down and convinces him to join his Formula Team - it's on its last legs and needs a boost and some wins. The young gun driver, Joshua, (played well by Damson Idris), is of course irked at "old man" Sonny. There's competition, issues, and then teamwork.
Kerry Condon is the team hot shot designer who listens to Sonny as he gives his opinion on the car. Is there a love kick? Well, yeah - it's Brad, Kerry. Hot stuff for a moment. But the key to the movie is the F1 racing in exotic locations. One of the producers is Lewis Hamilton.... Hello - he's not going to have crap on the screen. And gee - is he prominent in the racing finale?
All in all, this is maybe a tad long. But it's very entertaining, well filmed, and a good summer movie.
And Brad!!!!!!!!!!!! 'nuff said. Enjoy.
