Reel Review Mom

I like fast cars……

So I splurged a little bit in my laziness at home on my sofa and paid money to stream the new F1: The Movie with Brad Pitt. *sigh*

I definitely have the need for speed. If there’s a race car movie I’m down for it. Anytime. I’m born and raised in Florida and yes I’ve been to Daytona Speedway and IT. IS. AMAZING, YES…….. When creating a movie funded by millions of dollars, which goes towards the salaries of some of the hottest celebrity guys on this planet into that equation, well, yeah, that’s makes racing even better. LOL

Within 15 minutes of the movie starting I was like, “oh my dear Jesus, wth”. However, it pulled me in….

So, the first issue going into this movie was that I didn’t see Brad Pitt as this Formula 1 race car driver, Sonny Hayes. I guess I’m just not used to seeing him in these types of roles & I tend to expect Tom Cruise. I don’t like Tom Cruise.

Anyway, Brad Pitt in this role took a little bit of getting used too. I was wrong, btw; Brad Pitt is awesome in this movie.

The second thing worth pointing out is the fact that Sonny Hayes’ (aka Brad Pitt) teammate/nemesis, so to speak, is played by Damson Idris, who also played Franklin, in the TV series Snowfall on FX….. I love Franklin and I support that he made his livelihood from creating/making crack cocaine, LOL!! SO, I was rooting for him. . .

Javier Bardem is in this movie (thank you JEEZUS); he made me smile, happy, all the feels, as soon as I saw him & in my opinion he made the movie; he’s the cat’s meow. It’s like that famous SNL skit where Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell are playing in this band and one of them says, “what we need is more cowbell” ….. Well, what this movie needed was more Javier Bardem.

Overall, the movie is great. The cars are amazing and the movie lived up to all the hype! Check it out & let me know what you think 😉
