Best car race movie since Grand Priz

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2001)

The critics say this movie is old fashioned and cliched. Yeah! They're right! And isn't it wonderful?! As I sat and watched this movie I started to grin, and the grin got bigger as the movie progressed. I've been waiting for a movie like this for 20 years. At last someone had the guts to make an old fashioned Action/Adventure/Romance movie with a humanity-triumphs-over-greed moral message. This is the best car race movie since Grand Priz. The race sequenses are sensational and the crashes are spectacular (make sure you see it on a big screen). The plot is cliched, contrived, and completely enjoyable. The acting is competent and predictable (except mabe for Burt Reynolds who looks and acts like he's had one too many face lifts). If you're over 40 and/or yearning for a movie you can enjoy without enduring a bunch of virtual reality drivel or hip-hop fast talk, don't miss this one.
