Speed-related thrills and spills

Rating: 7/10 (5 January 2007)

Good action-thriller with excellent stunts. Various speed-related set-pieces rack-up the thrills and spills throughout this film cumulating in a speeding finale set aboard an out of control subway train.
Surround effect soundtrack was disappointing  (although it could it be we just sat too close to the screen (three rows up) and not centrally enough) The film could have done with more humour  although there were some amusing one-liners, and the guy who lost his sports car- door was funny. Unnecessary violence  especially in the early sequence when a buildings security officer gets a screwdriver stuck through his neck in lurid detail.
