The story doesn't really hold up, because there is none

Rating: 2/10 (19 February 2013)

I've never been a person who have enjoyed a car chase in a movie. To me that's just a way of getting out of writing a dialogue. The problem with this movie is that while the driving, the footage and a superstar in the driving seat, is all well and good (for those who enjoy it) but there is practically no dialogue what-so-ever. Ryan Gosling comes off as this quiet vigilante/bad boy who (from what I saw in another review) is described as a Clint Eastwood character in his early western features. Now that's just a huge insult to Mr Eastwood. Goslings character is closer to a lone wolf/social problems/anger issue underground thug. Who just happens to be a terrific stunt driver and mechanic with and cool jacket. And don't even get me started on the toothpick... No this movie is not worth watching in my opinion. Any Van Damme flick will do the trick instead of this, which for the life of me I can't understand has a 7,9 rating! That's way to close to Forrest Gump.
2/10 is my highest offer only because of good footage and decent soundtrack.
