Enjoyable in bits, but overall lacks the thrill that was expected
I liked it in parts, though it never felt like an all-out adrenaline rush. The racing sequences were shot really well, even if some maneuvers were too impractical, they did give the film its thrills. What didn't work for me was Brad Pitt, who just looked bored throughout, and the romance angle, which felt totally unnecessary.
The biggest letdown was the music. Hans Zimmer usually elevates films, but here it felt flat and forgettable. Honestly, it gave me the vibe of Top Gun with F1 cars, but without Tom Cruise's energy. It also makes comparisons to Rush inevitable, and this one doesn't come close to that level.
Still, despite the void I felt, it's a good film, enjoyable, rewatchable, but never hitting top gear.
