A good, entertaining film wrapped up in the racing genre.

Rating: 5/10 (24 November 2001)

I enjoyed the film enough to watch it twice in one day. If there is a choice, I recommend watching the DVD version. The film, as it is shown is good. If the scenes that were cut (or greatly altered in this case) were left in, this story would be greatly enhanced and you would have a greater appreciation (and understanding) for the characters. Unfortunately, the powers that be must have felt that the audience would rather see action and cars instead of a real human interest story. Also, if the film was shown as originally shot, the story would be about Sylvester Stallone's character, instead of a racer coming of age. Sly shows that he can write, and write well. Hope his future efforts aren't as brutally edited as this one was.
