Thom says: “So it appears with age some objectivity is almost totally lost. To be up front, I have absolutely no interest in cars, car races, nor anything to do with automobiles. I understand their need and usefulness but at an early age I decided to quit driving and always lived in an area that would have easy access to a decent public transportation system. So even with all the inevitable technical bravos from critics everywhere this story about American automobile designer Carroll Shelby (Christian Bale, looking a little worse for wear) who teams up with British engineer & race driver Ken Miles (Matt Damon) under the sponsorship of Lee Iacocca, CEO of Ford, to build and race a car to defeat the Ferrari streak of victories in the famed Le Mans endurance race in 1966. Besides looking fantastic there wasn’t one memorable scene in this overlong predictable endurance test. 1.5 cats“
