This film has some exciting race scenes which are to a great extent what the movie is about. It also features the handsome Chris Hemsworth from the Dove-approved films “The Avengers” and “Thor”. His character, James Hunt from Britain, is quite a comparison to Niki Lauda (Daniel Burhl) from Austria, who does not have the looks but does have the passion and drive to be number one in the world of racing. Hunt is a player and turns the heads of a lot of women. And therein is part of the problem as the movie is heavy in the sex content, not to mention language, violence, drugs and nudity content areas. In one scene one of the drivers has a close call but states he is not ready for death by sending word to the priest that he can “F-off.”

Pleasure seeking and crossing the finish line first seems to be what motivates the drivers in this movie and that is too bad. It would have been nice to have seen a little more substance in the characters. At any rate, this one is not family friendly and cannot be awarded our Dove Seal.
