Stock Standard Speedway Show

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2007)

This Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer production about stock car racing is pretty much stock. "Days of Thunder" has some good action sequences if you like your cars fast and furious, yet it ends up like a one hundred and four minute add for NASCAR! The script from Robert Towne is weak (a "Top Gun" for racing cars - the original story was co-written by Robert Towne and Tom Cruise), and even Nicole Kidman seems disinterested, although Robert Duvall always makes the most of anything. Also starred Cary Elwes and Randy Quaid.
Well know action director Tony Scott produces flashes of entertainment, but cannot make this film more than forgettable at best.
