Such a frustrating disappointment
Great Film overall
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Saw this movie on Netflix and didn't think it would be that great of a movie. I was thinking low budget, horrible acting/dialogue, straight to DVD type of movie...The movie surprised me. Didn't go over the top on the flashy cars and the racing wasn't over the top movie style(Fast and Furious movies..honestly, how many times can you shift racing a quarter mile?) The movie kept me wondering what is going to happen next and how he is gonna get out of this one or how he is going to make it work. Its definitely worth a watch if you enjoy cars. They acting is good, camera work is good, plot-line is good. Give the movie a chance!!! It seems like the people that didn't like the movie were thinking it would be just like F&F.
My late teens were all about import street racing. I have been a consultant for the media on Illegal Street racing so I really know the ins and outs of the culture.I saw this on Netflix and thought I'd give it a whirl. I've seen a ton of cheesy racing / drift videos before so I did not expect much. The racing scenes were actually pretty realistic. There was only one goofy line after the first race where some guy boast what's under his hood about his turbo and exhaust. That was the only unrealistic part in the movie.Other than that I though the story line was decent, the racing was a lot of fun and the cars seemed realistic as well. Mostly everyone is on NOS so you can expect to see that but this movie had a nice touch to it. So if you like racing check it out. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
One of the best movies out there! Great acting, plot, and story! Very entertaining and at the same time has a great point to life! Very nice movie! Information in mentioned in the movie is very accurate. Ending was very nice, which was a little bit unexpected. Very large veriety of cars in the movie! It had just enough action, romance and all that. I watched all the Fast and the Furious movies, and this one is becoming a favorite! I love that they partnered with subaru. This movie didn't contain any inappropriate seens which is very nice, and does not contain swearing. Literally the best movie, I ever watched! Hope they make a sequel! 10/10!!!
Better researched and more authentic than the first couple F&F movies, just less action. I don't know where I found this movie, but I was expecting it to be terrible after reading the summary, yet it was surprisingly good. The acting was better than you get from half of the big studio releases lately, and despite the made-for-TV feel, and fairly predictable story, it all came together well didn't feel hokey or anything.Even someone who knows a lot about cars can enjoy it because they apparently had some tech people involved who weren't idiots.I gave it an 8 because it was way better than any attempt in this genre with a limited budget.
