Review of Le Mans

Le Mans (1971)
6/10
Ditch the weird 'love' story
25 March 2017
This could have been a sweet racing movie with great camera angles on racing actions, perfect for old school hard core Le Mans racing fans.

Unfortunately, something went wrong with the script. Steve McQueen is pathetic and has a 100 words script, Elga Andersen is as useful as a tree planted in the middle of the racing track. While she has attractive looks, this movie should be about burnt tires and hot brakes, not about some chicks emotions and hair dress.

Ditch these two, and you get a great racing movie, almost feel the gasoline smell. Listen to the Porsche flat 12cyl Sonata @9000 rpm and enjoy the ride.
