I really wanted to like it

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2001)

I am a huge racing fan. Not much into CART, but I follow F1 religiously. I really wanted to like this movie. I was so excited when I saw the trailer. I couldn't believe how disappointed I was. The plot sucked, the acting was bad, the racing scenes were so ridiculous. I was embarrassed for the actors. I feel real sorry for Sylvester Stallone, this was his dream, and it definitely was not even close to the same level as the logical comparison, Days of Thunder. The music sucked, the acting sucked, the racing sequences made me laugh, the announcers I wanted to shoot. The effects were way too over the top, I felt that I was watching a video game. The only good part was the part that everyone has panned, the chase scene through Chicago. At least you knew this was not trying to be real. This is a good rental for a bunch of friends when you are all hammered. You should find it amusing. I still do like Sly however.
