‘F1: The Movie’ review: Brad Pitt puts the pedal to the metal in Joseph Kosinski’s old-school racing drama
But there’s an amiable surrogate-family movie just vrooming to get out, and the strange thing is that the recent release it more strongly resembles, down to its weird, squishy logo, is the last Mission: Impossible, since, although it’s definitely about American way of winning, the emphasis is as much on high-tech teamwork as it is on traditional star wattage. As a result, the film seems to toggle between a nostalgia for the traditional iconography of the lone man at the wheel (Sonny’s mantra is “put your head down and drive) and a respect for the technicians that, through aerodynamic design and such, snatch all-important fractions of sections when racing at over 200mph. Title: F1: The Movie Director: Joseph Kosinski Screenwriter: Ehren Kruger Cast: Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Javier Bardem, Kim Bodnia Shea Whigham Distributor: Warner Bros. Running time: 2 hrs 36 mins
