Rating: 4/10 (29 April 2001)

After having read the many reviews here, I reluctantly went to this film with some buddies of mine on a sorta "Nothing to do tonight, might as well go see the movie" idea.
Now, my friends are huge car buffs, so understandably, they loved the movie with all its racing sequences, which I will admit are well done. That being said, I found it to be one of the dullest movies I've seen in a long time. The dialogue is absolutely horrible, the characters are bland, and the entire plotline is utterly predictable. The only moderately "humorous" part is where the audience breaks out laughing at the abject cheesiness of the lines. It's like Sly took the cheesiest lines from every film in the past and crammed them into one in the hopes of winning an Oscar for the "true profoundness" of the film. Needless to say, it doesn't work.

Bottom line? The only reasons you should see this film are if you like cars, or you enjoy admiring your watch while the film drags on with no end in sight. Otherwise, don't waste another $10. 4/10.
