I've been following Adam Driver since the beginning of his career, and I'll forever watch everything he's in, but "Ferrari" left me with mixed feelings. For a film directed by Michael Mann and starring Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz, I was expecting a lot more from this. The stylish biopic had fantastic acting, but it felt like a racecar stuck in first gear.
Despite the racing subject matter, "Ferrari" didn't rev up the excitement; instead, it coasted along, leaving a lot of wasted potential in its rearview mirror. The pacing was remarkably slow, making it challenging to stay engaged. It's ironic that a film about speed could feel so sluggish.
Adam Driver delivered a stellar performance, and Penelope Cruz added her touch of elegance, but even their talents couldn't overcome the film's shortcomings. In the end, "Ferrari" might have the sleek exterior of a sports car, but it lacked the acceleration to truly captivate.
