There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Watching Street Racer with an open mind and fairly low expectations I still found the film to be terrible in all regards. You may think that considering it's The Asylum that you know it's going to be so, but at the same time you are curious to see if any of their movies are watchable. So far of the twenty or so I've seen(so far, yeah I know but there's something compulsive about the awfulness of these movies), none of them have been, and Street Racer is no exception. While not quite bottom 5- Alien Origin, Titanic II, 2010: Moby Dick, AVH: Alien vs. Hunter and Transmorphers- it is a contender for bottom 10. The lead actor Clint Browning actually tries his best and is decent, but the rest of the acting, especially from Connor Clayton, is awful, full of over-acting or phoning in. The characters and script do nothing in their favour this said, the characters are annoying cardboard cut-outs and the script is unbearably stilted and goes well overboard with the profanity. The story is blandly and predictably told, with a stupid death scene for the villain, characters, props and plot points cropping up and disappearing with no explanation and a very rushed ending. The races have no excitement or drive to them and are further disadvantaged by extremely amateurish editing and camera work. I couldn't even appreciate the car models, which didn't even look that expensive anyway, because of this. The music is nothing special coming across as generic and forgettable. Overall, a film about cars with nothing new or exciting. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Pros:-- Story's uninspired, but not so bad. Same goes for cinematography and direction.-- Lead actor playing "Johnny" is trying so hard to be Brad Pitt, it's almost charming. You'll find yourself saying, "Aww, look at the guy trying to be Brad Pitt…"-- I love this guy "Red," the auto junkyard owner who trains Johnny in racing. He's so authentically and simultaneously grizzled and whimsical, you'll think he's the child of an unholy union between Nick Nolte and Michael J. Pollard.-- The actor who plays rival racer "Mickey Stiles" is obviously coked up throughout the whole movie. No one's that good an actor. But it works. Keep this actor on coke. (BTW, IMDb says he's the freakin' voice of "Putt Putt" from my kids' video games!)Cons:-- The racing scenes are so obviously shot in fast motion you'll half expect Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax" to be playing in the background.-- But you won't hear "Yakety Sax" because the same nondescript hip-hop song, which consists of nobody rappers yelling, "WHAT AROUND HERE!" over and over, underscores every race. As if it means something. But it doesn't.-- Daniel's father and sister are obviously somebody's relatives or friends. Actors this bad and ugly don't get cast without knowing a producer or somebody.-- Helicopter turn-by-turn in the last race comes out of nowhere with no explanation, while the view from helicopter shows no race at all, just some highway traffic. Who are they? Radio traffic reporters? Cops? And why do they talk like surfer dudes?-- Final, climactic racing scene comes and goes so quickly, you won't even realize it, because it consists almost entirely of close-ups of drivers yelling, "Come on! Come on!"-- Bad guy parole officer is so suitable a dou©ebag that you want him to really get it at the end. But when it finally happens, you won't stop laughing. Really, hours later, you won't stop laughing.Final verdict: I bought "Street Racer" for a buck from a Blockbuster that was going out of business, knowing full well that stocking movies like this helped put Blockbuster out of business. It was worth a buck and 90 minutes of my time. It will be on a blanket in my driveway at my next tag sale.

Despite having spoilers, they don't tell exactly what happens in the movie so if you read this you won't be made to lose interest in the movie itself so I recommend that you read the review before watching the movie.Yet you might have seen many racing movies about decent cars, hot chicks and illegal street races and this is another movie similar to F&F. Just films like this have been inspired by the Fast and the Furious franchise. This movie is not so bad as described but is a non-good mock buster. First of all the idea of the movie was very good, a racer has a car accident during an illegal race and hurts an innocent human and then he pays about that while getting involved in the racing life again. But the idea had not been accomplished well at all.At first, the shooting of the scenes is so awful that I could not understand what actually happened in the beginning - did the character die or he was just stunned. The racing scenes are so unclear that you wouldn't understand how are the things going on. I also noticed that the camera views switch so fast that this would also make you not understand what's happening and you lose interest in the movie. This disbands the adrenaline which should come inside you, just because this is literally an action movie.The acting is not bad but not good because sometimes the spectator could visibly notice the play of the actors but not the seriousness of the characters inside the movie. Clint Browning, who actually plays the main character didn't do bad job and acted fairly tolerable. The other actors were also not bad but Connor Clayton, who played the invalid boy was awful. I do apologize about my exposure of dysphemismic criticism but he looked like Justin Bieber and was a sort of unbearable and I couldn't stand him, he firstly acts awful and secondly he acts like some twink. I completely liked the play of Robert Pike Daniel who played as Red, an old ex-drunk who lost his son due to cancer and started having business with cars so the acting of this actor made me love his character most.The plot and even the writing are plain, predictable and incomplete though the idea about them is awesome and potential. The plot could be breath-taking but every detail about the it is incomplete. There could have been put some dramatic moments about the boy and if a good actor had played it, the movie would have become strong and it's rating would be sky high as because people love dramas.The writing is bad. The main thing making it awful is the overuse of profanity. Everyone is just saying "F*CK" or "SH*T" just for no reason even about the tiniest problem as if they are whining about everything. The moment when Johnny says to Red "I have no choice" I literally reminded myself the movie Saw, whose counsel is that people must appreciate their lives and always have choices, and I immediately predicted the next reply of the writing when Red says "There is always choice..." and I was pleasantly satisfied but that's just myself.The cars are very poor for the movie year but they were not as bad as to be awful considering the fact that the movie has low budget. The performance and the special effects are again on the average, not so good and visibly not bad. The music is amazingly and surprisingly good. The racing scenes were bad but I liked a lot the carting racing which was my favorite part of the movie.Overall the movie is completely incomplete though it's idea was very good and potential. All details were not well made but it's good for a time waste.Plot - predictable, plain, but the idea about it has a big potential though it is badly made. 3/10Acting - average, I mostly liked Robert Pike Daniel's play. 5/10Writing - very plain ,big, pointless overuse of profanity. 3/10Performance - Poor cars for the film's year, averagely good action scenes but bad races and completely awful camera shooting. 2/10Music - very good and proper, just imperfect. 8/10

I don't understand why it does have such a low review. Probably because people (including myself) expected more images with the cars doing tricks, passing by each other more and also more dangerously. Indeed the movie didn't have so many 8 year old effects, but it sent some strong messages; it showed clearly what happens if you're not careful while driving and how you can mess up someones life; it also touched the subject of corruption; it showed this very realistic. I also liked the "preaches" of the old man Johnny was working for. ..oh, and did I mention I felt for the character played by Clint Browning in this movie. Johnny rulezzzz (especially in Clint's body uuuh!!)
