Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2002)

Look I'm not a film critic and I've never claimed to be one, but I think that most of the reviewers have been a little bit cynical when analysing this quite incredible film.
I just finished watching the DVD and for the first time in my life I actually sat through all of the special features. In the end I was begging for more info on the incredible lengths that were gone to, to film this eye catching movie.
I am inspired by the work done by the visual effects team and I really think that if you look beyond Sly Stallone's average writing and producing then really this movie will inspire you too. The amount of effort that these guys went to and the breakthough technology that they used is utterly incredible and taking that into account this is a movie that people need to see on DVD to have true respect for it.
Another interesting thing is the way that the crew filmed at many different races and if you look in the credits several famous F1 drivers are mentioned. Jean Alesi and Jacques Villineve (excuse spelling) for a start. Montoya also makes an appearance in the film.
So yeah, maybe this is just a film for car racing enthusiasts like myself. Or maybe for those who are into stunning visual effects that are made using technology that is so unbelieveable that it has to be seen to be believed. It's probably not one for the film crtics as cynicism is part of their job description. Their so into acting and good direction that they look past visual effects, cinemotogrophy and musical score which are also important parts of a movie.
So I'll dare to be different and give it 8 out of 10 and thats coming from a girl who is very keen on car racing.
