A very boring racing film I had a considerable number of issues with this film, the primary one was the fact that they spent way too much time dwelling on the relationship between the Enzo and his wife, in addition to the relationship between Enzo and his mistress (played by a tragically miscast Shaileen Woodley) neither of which were particularly interesting, as relationships, as characters, or as stories.
We went into this film assuming it was going to be a movie about the evolution of Ferrari as a car, as a company, and as a legend, and it ended up being more or less a melodrama about failed relationships. Michael Mann, who is quite an accomplished director, failed on his part to not discern the fact that audiences wanted to see more about the company, and more about the car, and less about these relationships, which I don't think we're all that interesting.
Enzo's first wife, played by the talented Penelope Cruz certainly had reason to be miserable, but her character just possessed this black cloud everywhere she went, and every scene that she was in was difficult to watch.
This was the most boring racing film I've ever seen in my life and I just can't recommend it. It had an incredibly somber tone to it that just didn't work. Very little about this film worked and I was very very happy when it was finally over.
