Here's what the critics are saying:

β€œRush” is not the epic drama is could have been, but it is certainly watchable and mostly enjoyable.Β β€” Justin Craig, Fox News
The racing scenes are dynamic and easy to follow, with a sheen that brings the 1970s into sharp relief.Β β€” Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
["Rush" is]Β 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-bookΒ Austrian, and the charmingΒ EnglishΒ playboyΒ James Hunt.Β β€” 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.Β β€” Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
