A truly awful movie

Rating: 1/10 (23 October 2002)

I remember all the hype that surrounded Stallone's visits to the Formula One races, and being geninuely disappointed when he decided to use CART as his setting instead. Now I can understand why the rulers of F1 rejected him. The film lacks any kind of grounding in the real world. The characters, while clearly based on real people, are totally unbelivable. Team owner in a wheelchair, thats Frank Williams, but can you imagine Frank, or anyone else for that matter, behaving in the way Reynolds character does? Bo Brandenberg, Michael Schumcher? If I were Schumi I'd be offended.
The track sequences and crashes are laughable, the dialogue is a joke and I think any racing driver could expect slightly more than a $20k fine for driving a race car around the streets of Chicago. All in all this film was a waste of my money and two hours of my life. If your a follower of Formula One, or Indycar then this movie will be nothing but an unending sequence of disappointment.
