I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Such a frustrating disappointment
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I think the movie was okay but still not up to the standards where it can be called a good movie. It lacked many things, even the car chase and stunts were not that amazing. The graphics i can say was okay but still the car driving skills lacked too much. There was really no plot to the movie, it started and went with the flow. There were no twist no suspense nothing. The story was totally plain and not worth it. The acting was okay but there were some scenes where you were able to tell just what is going to happen next. They really lacked expressions and sometimes over expressed themselves. To sum it up, just one time watch movie that too if you want to just pass out time. If you really want to watch for a good time then it might not be the one for you.
I've been reading reviews on IMDb for about 6 years now and I never felt compelled to write one myself. However, the characters in Overdrive change this.The two brothers are criminals to begin with. There is no reason to justify their crimes yet they are super- cool, stylish and over the top in every aspect. The two girls who are thieves themselves also possess the same excellent qualities like the boys do. That's just not it, one of them is okay to throw herself at any men, to be taken advantage of, she comes across. The other one is so annoying and treats the protagonist with utter disrespect that it's hard to be with her for just one minute for any men with a little sense of self- respect let alone be a life-partner but our protagonist can't imagine his life without her. I'm yet to see a character in any movie that has so low opinion about himself.These protagonists display all the qualities of low-life, cheap, immoral, uncivilized, lowest of the low, small time thieves that should have been suffered in the movie yet they are portrayed like super- cool F**** who won it all in the end. Bad lesson for the young people.
Not even the lovely and talented Ana de Armas can make this woeful Fast and Furious ripoff more interesting than occasionally pretty eye candy and car pr0n. What's even more tragic is that she's not given very much to do at all.Compared with this one, most of the Fast and Furious films seem like Citizen Kane in terms of both plot and storytelling.Two particularly laughable low points, which were kind of hard to come up with given that there were so very many in this film: 1: English speaking team leaders need a group of "skilled" drivers to be part of their crew. So of course, the finest levels of coordination and communication are achieved by bringing in a bunch of drivers that only understand French;2: Priceless collection of cars is kept in a high security garage behind 15 foot tall, 6inch thick metal doors. After blowing the doors flat off their hinges, it only takes two guys to effortlessly move the doors out of the way so the cars can be driven out. I need to take whatever vitamins those folks are eating.Say what you will about the F&F films (sheer brainless entertainment especially in recent installments), but there is no question most of the leads in the F&F films possess healthy amounts of on screen charisma. The same absolutely cannot be said of nearly everyone in this cast. There are no budding Wonder Woman's in the lot and Vin Diesel and The Rock are like DeNiro and Pacino in comparison to everyone here in Overdrive.Scott Eastwood and Ana de Armas especially deserve far better than this pale F&F wannabe.100% a film for car pr0n lovers only and those who want to see some occasionally nice shots of Marseilles and Paris - these elements elevate the score from a 4 to a 5.That's it. Really, that's it.
A lot has been covered by other reviewers so I'll just add the two things that bothered me the most.You can't go and steal extremely rare cars. A random Ferrari; sure you can steal it and sell it in another country. But every Ferrari 250 GTO is numbered and known about. You can't just go and steal Nick Mason's 250 GTO and sell it to someone random. Interpol will be on you in no time.Also, was Kemp a bad guy or a good guy? Did he kill the pilot? Did Andrew just think that was ay-okay? And how did they end up with the GTO in the end? Steal it from the guy that played along? Very confusing.
