It actually wasn't too bad

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2001)

Something like an "Any Given Sunday" for the Indy car scene, the key difference being that Stallone's screenplay (and the film's editors) actually leave enough character development and story between the sporting events to make this an entertaining and occasionally moving affair, even for those who aren't really fans of the sport. The characters are well written, well cast and without exception well acted. The only let downs are the horrendously below-par special effects, and an epilogue-free ending which could have been rounded off more nicely. This isn't a masterpiece, and it isn't Stallone's best work  but it does show he's still a writer with some talent.
