Needs a better script.....

Rating: 5/10 (25 October 2014)

I wanted to like this movie. I went expecting big action, lots of fun, and Keanu Reeves at his best. What I got was the big action sequences that would have benefited from a lot less talking. The script was a slight rewrite of a old country song. "Stole my car and killed my dog". That's on par for the rest of the script. Visually, the movie is stunning. Linguistically, don't expect higher than a fifth grade level vocabulary or language skills. And the emotion? One note. No depth. Things blow up...quite well in fact. Beautiful, gorgeous, growling muscle cars grace the screen and upstage the actors driving them. Wonder if the count worked on them? And the dramatic cinematography earn this flick 5 stars. But the plot/dialogue...com' on! Even Mr. Reeves looked pained to say it at times. Don't waste your money. Five out of ten for movie craft and pretty things. Wait for the video.
