'Rush' Review

Yeah, it's a good day when Jahns reviews a movie. The guy's good.

Can't Take Your Eyes Off This Clip From 'Rush'

Ron Howard did a nice job capturing the mental state of racer Niki Lauda in his first start after the 1976 crash in the German Grand Prix. Great direction, camera, and editing. Easy to follow, riveting, dangerous looking, exciting.

People are going to love this movie.

Lush Looking 'Rush'

They really did a nice job capturing the look of the 70s. I'm sure cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle shot on film but post was likely done digitally. End result is lush and crisp with colors that are both muted and saturated (intense but without that digital over-smoothness) -- the best you could hope for.

I also like the grainy look. Apt for the period.
