Damon and Bale play off each other nicely, with Damon pulling off a Bill Clinton accent and a believable performance.

Tracy Letts is wonderfully intense as Henry Ford II, and Noah Jupe is great as the innocent son.
Mangold put together a nice story, excellent casting, and polished effects make it real. A companion piece to Rush, another good racing movie.
