Yes, I'll see it in the theaters. I mean V-8's and V-12's in surround sound! But Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby, really? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyYgDtY2AMY My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball. | ||

From this preview, I'll file this one under Fiction. I met Ol' Shel in 1966, spent about a half-hour talking with him, and Matt Damon doesn't cut it. Nearly everything I saw in the preview was inaccurate, as well. Track scenes, music, cars. All wrong.

I see this as a crash filled Hollywood version of reality. | |||

Yeah, that is exactly what it will be. Watch the documentary "The 24 Hour War". It's on Netflix or Amazon, I can't remember which. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

I don’t remember Shelby’s hat looking like he was a tourist. You can ALWAYS tell a person wearing a western hat—who doesn’t wear a western hat. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Looks like a sports car version of Days of Thunder. Hollywood's got to sell tickets, not write accurate history. I guess they feel like flaming car crashes, babes in the bedroom, etc. are necessary to get people to buy tickets. There are some good documentaries out there for real fans and they are pretty interesting. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I can 2nd this recommendation. I think I watched it on Amazon. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Another movie using “Gimme Shelter” in its soundtrack.

I'll certainly watch it. Christian Bale doesn't act in bullshit. He won't sign on unless he believes it will be solid. And he is usually right. Damon has had a lot of good roles. I don't care for his politics but he's a good actor. Studios have to stylize content or nobody would watch it as it would be a documentary. This director did Walk the Line with Phoenix so it should be a solid watch. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Movie doesn’t come out until the end of the year. How does everyone know it’s going to suck. | |||

Heh, the documentary preview had a lot more fiery crashes than the movie preview.  “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

There is a VERY good chance this movie will educate kids my sons age on why the Ford GT40 is a special car and why has the name that it has. I am a sucker for anything Ford racing, especially GT40 related. For the first time in a VERY long time I want to go see a movie at the theater and I REALLY hope it is well done and successful!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

I'll watch it when it hits Netflix for sure. Christian Bale gives a good performance IMO ------------------------------------ Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Watched it the other night, great documentary. Sad that many of those interviewed are no longer with us. My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball. | |||

The documentary is very well done. Adam Carolla and his team put a lot of time and effort into it. He's a little pissed about the movie as nobody reached out to him or his team in regards to accuracy or simply input after all the work they had done. I'll check out the movie, but will certainly tune into his podcasts to get his thoughts on it. | |||
