Don't listen to the negative reviews

Captivating movie !

Admirable film.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The best thing I can say about this movie is I only saw the last 20 minutes and so that's all I've lost. I guess the $26m budget all went on car rentals. The acting, plot, editing were all so bad I was embarrassed for everyone involved. Obviously they had no money left over and had to borrow a 70's soundtrack.Not that I hated fast and furious, I think they were fine films but this bumps them up to masterpieces in the genre.If some people out there actually enjoyed this movie please purchase a copy so this won't be inflicted on everybody else again.I'm going to go pour turps in my eyes now.Thank you

Of course you shouldn't expect Meryl Streep and Al Pacino acting performances here...IT'S A MOVIE ABOUT CARS AND RACING! I, unlike everyone else here, really liked this movie. The ballers were big...betting $1 Million dollars that a man could travel from LA to Vegas in an hour and a half (by Mercedes McClaren and night vision...brilliant!)...to a $100 Million dollar mega race. It was very fun and had a good pace and an accidental storyline that sufficed. The standout character was Angus Macfadyen(Michael), who created a totally believable, scumbag, money launderer (who happened to also be a whacked- out vegan/existentialist megalomaniac bond villain)...and so convincingly did this within the plastic framework of this, OK, "bubble- gum" movie. But what's wrong with bubble gum? Again, this isn't 'Sophie's Choice' or 'Godfather II'. Another movie I LOVED in this genre was Fast And Furious Tokyo Drift. Again, not the greatest movie of all time, but it captures a youthful mood and fun excitement...as this movie does. And, again, who doesn't love some of the best cars in the world being DRIVEN!!! I'd buy the DVD and wouldn't have been dissatisfied paying to see it in a theater.

Tim "Otter" Matheson has to consider his acting career over after having been in this movie. This film could not have been a good payday for him and I find myself wondering if the 6 pack of Bud was worth the embarrassment. A real career ender... Bad acting and a hideous script Such poor technical details, I believe the makers must have gone to wikipedia for their technical advising. Never has a movie so short, seemed so long. Never before has a PG movie been so obscene. It is one of the few movies I have ever seen that I cannot think of one redeeming quality. 90 minutes to kill? Get a root canal instead.

Is reading other people's reviews of how bad it was. I haven't laughed that hard since the economy went to heck in a hand basket.Like driving past a car wreck, I couldn't look away. I just had to see how bad it could get, and then how much worse it could get...Plot lines you could drive a semi through, kits of cars that people think are expensive and real, street racing that doesn't look remotely fun trying to dodge minivans all over the place, ugh!The only redeeming quality is the crazy millionaire that is played so tongue in cheek you feel him laughing at the movie, not with it.You can make a drinking game out of the movie, taking a shot for every improbable piece of steaming plot device, but you'd be in rehab at the end.
