Here's what the critics are saying:

“Rush” is not the epic drama is could have been, but it is certainly watchable and mostly enjoyable. — Justin Craig, Fox News
The racing scenes are dynamic and easy to follow, with a sheen that brings the 1970s into sharp relief. — Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
["Rush" is] a movie so solidly entertaining that it can make someone who is clueless about racing care about the rivalry between [Niki] Lauda, a disciplined, by-the-book Austrian, and the charming English playboy James Hunt. — Barbara Vancheri, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The lead actors shine in an engaging look at the two fierce rivals who battled it out for the Formula One championship in 1976. — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
