Brad Pitt’s Sports Drama Has Exciting Racing Scenes And A Bloated Runtime

Joseph Kosinski’s new car competition “F1” acts as a perfect companion song His 2022 Ultra-Blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick”. Both films use the beautiful boys of the previous generation (Brad Pitt “F1,” Tom Cruise “for” Maverick “) who add them to a role where they can stand with old world examples-and still curiously chaste-masculine. When Cruise has seen as rising and Matinée- For parents of the mainstream, they seem to “still get it”. (Cruise’s case) is now much more than their crafts.

Pitt can still be traded when the situation requires it. Still, one can remember his Oscar candidate translation to manic and disturbed young man in “12 monkeys” or in his tired, once struggling “Babylon”. His turn “once in Hollywood” required more charm than his ability, but it was enough to net his real Oscar win in 2019.

“F1”, the producer of the Pitt movie, has asked Ehre Kruger to look Kosinsk and screenwriter Ehre Kruger, as possible, as possible as a man who is capable of as well as a middle-aged man. This ability is expressed by Pitt’s expertise on large, Fallis machines. Maverick had his airplane and now Pitt’s Sonny Hayes, once a promising racing car driver, is his fat-related supercars. Pitt also seems to have asked that all characters around the Sonny bucket look at him like a combination strap object and wise-life parties. Everything he says and does is right and admirable.

It is not always fun to watch the result, but at least there are fun driving periods.

“F1” can also act as a partner “Once in Hollywood” Similarly, as both films celebrate the seeming meaning of mediocre white friends of middle-aged white friends. In practice, both films believe in Pitt when he sees him as a rescue, the last remaining Avatar left, whose filmmakers were clearly better than this. However, “F1” has a disadvantage that is running far, far too long. It also sports a manuscript that presents a female lead in an horrifying, incapable of nailing his character, dreams or mission other than to hit a pitfall into frustratingly handsome features. Kerry Condon, who plays part, is definitely a capable actor, but Kruger’s vacuum manuscript was a challenge he couldn’t meet.

Pittin Sonny Hayes was once a promising young rise in the Formula-Kilpa world, but he never had the opportunity to prove himself after an early accident at his career. 30 years later, Sonny now lives in a van, does not seek honor and takes low rent-race gigs to feed her gambling addiction. Sonny’s gambling addiction is randomly mentioned in the whole “F1”, but it only serves as an explanation of how he became so poor; When he visits Las Vegas later in the film, he does not seem to be the least attractive. Sonny named Ruben (Javier Bardem) old compatriots appear to Sonny, who offers her life at the world’s best Grand Prix, and teaches another young rise, Joshua (Damson Idris), how to hug the Raide.

Sonny, her charisma and character alone, quickly gets Ruben disappear on the right road. Sonny does not take as much responsibility as blatantly barking instructions for people. Because Sonny is so clearly in the heart of gold, few people will soon get spiked and soon learn to deal with her.

The technical director of the Ruben team is Kate (Condon) and the son Howdy is poorly designed. He believes in his career and regrets that men are in control of the F1 competition, but he is also supposed to find Sonny’s unbearably attractive, reducing him to a giggle, even though he tries to intervene in some legal technical concerns. The bar has a scene at an early stage “F1” where Sonny and Kate get to know each other and introduce similar nuclei, but Sonny’s philosophy is unclear and Katen Banter feels like it returns from the end. It’s a very bad scene. They have no chemistry and the sex is very far away from the movie. For a movie that aims to empty the forces of the old world masculinity, it does not seem to want a bone.

In the meantime, Joshua is a unnecessary and social media young hopeful that looks like an older white guy just needs a little hard love to fall on the line. In fact, everyone has to do it to listen to Sonny, and their lives are getting better. He is a motor sports Messiah. Speedways Bodhisattva. If only he had a spiritual dimension like Dalton’s “Road House”. Or had weaknesses outside the old injuries. Sonny carries the memories of a fallen father, but that phenomenon seems to be so common in the “F1” that two characters are cheerfully wrinkled with glass when they both realize they lost fathers at the age of 13.

By the end of the movie, some side characters have even begun to imitate Sonny’s playing card -based happiness rituals and his way of wearing inappropriate socks. He is almost a cult leader. Sonny is too unmatched the right protagonist and a little too vague to be a pursuit. I suspect the audience is just meant to find Pitt “film star Dazzle” enough to disturb us for his extensive, light characterization.

However, Kosinski is a capable director of action and presents the actual F1 car competition with Aplomb. He gives some sports equipment outside the screen to tell the activity, so Newbs like me can follow with Formula 1 Finers. Much of the competitions seem to have reached a real physical driving that may take into account the movie Well announced $ 300 million budget. Yes, “F1” is one of the most expensive movies of all time. However, the money was not entered in the CGI, but just overwhelming production value. Like “Top Gun: Maverick”, “F1” is effectively slippery. In addition, Formula 1 fans may identify many real -life drivers and leaders with camels throughout the movie. If you are also an F1 Neophyt, like me, just listen when the people around you cheer.

Sponsorship is an important part of the F1 race in real life, but it is still disturbing to see so many corporate logos that it is done so blatantly. All the characters live strangely in the sterile interior, which Geico, EA Sports and mostly Expension are decorated. They look like interior “Josie and the pussycats” movie. “F1” has a late-phase lower part, which contains the F1 management system secretly manipulation to gain financial gain, but such a system does not affect such a gloomy world where people wear Ninja mixers logo on their clothes.

If the “F1” had been tight for 90 minutes, maybe much more blatant typing could be forgiven or at least ignored (well, a terrible handling of Condon’s character) despite). But in 156 minutes, the audience has too much time to reflect on many weaknesses in the film. The competition is exciting – in fact, very exciting – and Pitt is definitely a movie star, but honestly I can have my own middle -aged crisis, thank you. I don’t have to watch Pitt’s.

/Movie rating: 4.5/10

“F1® The Movie” will open in theaters on June 27, 2025.
