The story of the emergence of the Ford Race Team.
Mixed in are subtexts involving multi-generational conflict within Ford Motor Company, racing physics, and automotive history. This is a fascinating film that exceeded my expectations. Kudos to the producers - I'm sure this was a difficult film to create, but it was worth the money and effort.

The story of the 'Silk Road' darkweb commerce site is better told through documentary programming. This movie lacks soul, and contains nothing memorable beyond the true story on which it is based.
For further viewing, see "Silk Road: Drugs, Death, & The Dark Web" (2017).

Modifiers (+ or -): none. Although I could have deducted points for poor post-production standards, I will choose to view the unorthodox opening as a stylistic choice, rather than an oversight.

When every performance is great, can any performance really "stand out"? Has Leonardo DiCaprio ever had a bad performance? Or, even an average performance?
This movie was long, but needed to be longer. I hadn't seen this since the mid-2000's, and was surprised that the story abruptly ends at mid-life. Hughes' life had many more interesting stories left to tell, but it seems that Scorsese wanted to end the film on a positive note.
This is a fine film - with a big budget, a great cast, and great camera work.
