Ron Howard occupies unique filmmaking territory, in that he exists somewhere between a prestige favorite, a populist entertainer, and a genre-hopping journeyman, with two Academy Award under his belt and billions of box office dollars to show for it. 2013’s Rush might be the perfect combination of his many talents, though, even if it undeservedly underperformed in theaters.
The fast-paced and frantic character piece is a combination of high-octane racing thriller, biographical drama, and sports movie, bolstered by arguably the single finest performance of Chris Hemsworth’s career as charming playboy James Hunt, even if most of the plaudits (and a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Golden Globes) were aimed at Daniel Brühl’s Nikki Lauda.
