A dull film about a dull sport

Rating: 4/10 (2 June 2020)

Days of Thunder saw Tom Cruise, Tony Scott and producing team Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson for second hit film. But what they ended up making was a rather dull sports film. It was set in the world of NASCAR which is one of the dullest sports imaginable, with a script so thin that it had to fill itself out with numerous plotlines and had an central character who put lives in danger and stalked his way into a relationship. It was a Tony Scott film so some of the lighting was visually but overall it was a minor entry in everyone's filmographies. There are much better films about motor racing out there.
