Why so much hype?

I wanted to but couldn't!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Was just thinking this was going to be another loud car movie but was very pleasantly surprised by the story, variety of characters - most with a likeable personality and the whole film in general. Uplifting with enough action and some great racing footage. Well worth a watch..

The same story , but executed correctly and in a different way , and it is excellent ..

I'll attempt to put aside what I know about the politics and positions of Forrest Lucas the executive producer of this film (as the viewers can look that up for themselves) and try and rate the movie on its own merits.I picked this DVD up at Redbox, not knowing anything about it. and it's not a bad B-movie quality endeavor. Kevin Dillon stars as Rick Radden, an ex-champion off-road racer and who now owns his own truck racing team. DeRon Horton co-stars as Dez Truss, s former car thief, who's now trying to go straight and is given a second chance by Rick to work with his team. They're both quite believable in their roles, as are many in the supporting cast. The plot elements are quite predictable and formulaic on the whole, but an air of tension is reasonably maintained in the off-road racing scenes and other areas, and there's an eventual feel-good aspect to it all.Overall, aside from some of the blatant commercial plugs, I felt the film was reasonably well presented and better than I expected.

Good uplifting movie. A movie for the whole family and good racing in it
