‘Ferrari’ review: Movie starts on cruise control and then floors it

nypost.com:

Adam Driver is back to barking in an Italian accent after the heinous “House of Gucci,” only this time he sounds a lot less Russian and thankfully did not take Lady Gaga along for the ride.Running time: 124 minutes.

Rated R (some violent content/graphic images, sexual content and language). In theaters Dec. 25. Grazie mille, Adam!And ride he does as Enzo Ferrari in director Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” a shapeshifting drama that zeroes in on one consequential chapter of the complicated ex-race car driver and automaker’s life during the late 1950s.

The imposing actor takes some getting used to. Come to think of it, he always does. But once you grow accustomed to Driver’s deep, taffy-chewing voice and hurtful glares, he capably transforms into the ice-cold innovator in Modena, Italy, who was an unspeakably ruthless competitor.Away from the sexy cars at the office, 59-year-old Enzo is also a womanizer.

The sole household rule, his abrasive wife Laura (Penelope Cruz) says, is that he must wake up in bed with her. When he doesn’t one morning, the spurned spouse nearly shoots him in the head.
