Strictly for car fanatics

Rating: 3/10 (27 October 2019)

As fan of thrillers, Nicole Kidman before face fillers, Robert Duvall and director Tony Scott this is so disappointingly boring. Interminable shots of racing cars going at unwatchable speeds, a poor script where not much happens, Tom Cruise reprising Top Gun and constantly positioning his chisled cheeks for the best angle for the camera, I found the only reason to keep watching was to see Kidman when she still had that Dead Calm look and she was gorgeous. Good actress, better than Cruise here and taller, although her role as a neuro surgeon was questionable. Tony Scott is a great loss to thrillers, I only watched Crimson Tide a week ago and I've loved all of his other movies but sorry to say I couldn't wait for this to end, in fact I fell asleep on the sofa. 3 stars for Nicole, Robert Duvall and an early part for John C Reilly, not that he has much to do.
