Maverick' helmer's feature, which counts Lewis Hamilton as a producer and features Javier Bardem and Kerry Condon, is about the late-career return of a once promising Formula 1 driver.

The Daily Telegraph’s Robbie Collin again says F1 deserves a podium finish, giving it a 4/5 score: "the peerless race photography and deft writing around Pitt’s character – a late moment involving a pack of cards is even rather moving – are enough to smooth over the niggles."

You might go to it with solemn images in mind of the old-school maverick driver classics — Grand Prix (1966) and Le Mans (1971) — which is a vibe director Joseph Kosinski does prize highly and a role that fits Brad Pitt quite snugly.
