Great for speedfreaks, but lousy storyline and acting

Rating: 3/10 (2 February 2002)

Since I've watched this movie with a friend, it's always fun to see how opinions can differ. This friend want to press the 'STOP' button after an half hour. It's certainly not a master piece, but those who like speed and great enginesounds over your 5.1 set will love it.
Sure, the makers wanted a plot in this movie, but this is very shallow. Characters are abused with some lines to give the idea that there is something going on. 112 minutes is to long, it could be cropped within ~90mins and more time for detailed actorwork (relationships, emotions). Last comment: the crashes are far from realistic, that's a minor, but though spectacular.
Speedfreaks: watch ... others: leave this one boxed.
