This film has done so much damage...

Rating: Null/10 (19 April 2003)

I am a racing fan, and have been for years and I hate this film. People are defending it saying it is supposed to be entertaining but it isn't. It is unrealistic and non-racing fans will find it boring. Racing fans will hate the lack of detail and the cheesy script.
The acting is pathetic, Sly barely fits his ego into the car and the rookies are wooden.
The screenplay hints towards F1 are so obvious with the 'Rookie' and the 'German' (Schumacher) and the crippled F1 boss (Frank Williams) and I'm not suprised F1 did not support this movie. And the race through the streets? That was just stupid.
This film has done nothing but damage the reputation of motorsport movies and it's likeky that studios will now keep their distance from decnent motorsport screenplays in future all thanks to Stallone.

I guess it's another 50 wait for another 'Grand Prix' then.
