Christopher Bell’s long-awaited movie review of ‘Days of Thunder’ is finally here

The list of must-see movies for NASCAR fans is pretty short.

Christopher Bell’s long-awaited movie review of ‘Days of Thunder’ is finally here

Christopher Bell, the NASCAR driver, has finally given his review to the movie 'Days of Thunder'. This was a significant achievement for Bell, as he had previously been the subject of jokes from his fellow drivers for not having watched the film. The movie was released in 1990 and starred Tom Cruise as Cole Trickle.

The NASCAR season had taken a break in early August, providing Bell with the perfect opportunity to watch 'Days of Thunder'. His review of the movie was mostly positive, with Bell acknowledging that it was a good one. He noted that the film had some super realistic aspects, but also some cheesy parts. Bell gave the movie a solid 89 out of 100, which is close to an A grade.

Bell's review wasn't the only must-see NASCAR film he hadn't seen. Before finishing 'Days of Thunder', he admitted that he hadn't watched 'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby' either. It seems that Bell's movie-watching plans for the offseason have been well thought out. While his fellow drivers can stop mocking him for not seeing 'Days of Thunder', they can now have new targets for their jokes - his low rating of 'Days of Thunder' and his lack of viewing 'Talladega Nights'.
