“Lamborghini: The Man Behind The Legend” (**1/2 out of four) was an imperfect but occasionally penetrating story of Ferrucio Lamborghini (Frank Grillo) who went through a variety of hardships and tribulations in founding and inventing the Lamborghini which went on to change history and become one of the most lucrative luxury cars to this day in the world. Writer/director Bobby Moresco tries for grandiosity but can’t quite achieve it because film is overall too superficial and limited in its scope; yet there are individual powerful scenes especially as film gathers momentum in its final third when the car comes to invention and fruition. Grillo is dynamite in the lead role and Mira Sorvino has one of her best roles in years as his neglected wife. A half-great movie with great individual moments.
