one of those movies that is aimed at a certain type of person

Rating: 3/10 (14 April 2010)

If you devote every dime you get into a little ugly car that runs fast has loud speakers so you can play annoying rap music and show it off to your other idiot friends...yea you know if you are one of those types...dork...
An undercover cop poses as a street racer so he can find out who is responsible for the hijacking of trucks and the valuable equipment inside. The cop, Brian gets in so deep and close to the group of guys that he doesn't want to bust them when he finds out the truth and yadda yadda.
I like car movies and good chases, but this was a bit too cheesy for me. With all the clichés, the bad dated rap music, the little ugly cars that aren't at all cool. As I said the people who are into that junk eat these movies up, but I think they are so cheesy, all the "bros" and slang these people use is annoying as hell...I wanted them all to die - crash and burn you fools.
It has a lot of races, and some action, but still tame by real action standards..Rob Cohen makes a lot of those big budget wanna be action movies, some are okay, but I think his big star casting choices hurt his films. They sell at the box office, but we real movie fans hate these big hyped actors that are "Hollywood's finest" - yea Hollywood's most overrated..
Paul Walker is a horrible actor, he does good in movies about surfers, but I could never take him serious as a cop or a bad a**. Although he was good in Running Scared...Vin Diesel is just one of those actors that sucks but hes big and muscular and gained a big fan base and he keeps getting these roles because of his size. He was great in Pitch Black, but after that I wish he had quit. The guy playing Vince, Matt Schulz is another very horrible actor. Poor Ja Rule, I like Ja Rule, not his music or his acting but I think he seems like a cool guy, but he shows here he cannot act.I will say I am a fan of Michelle Rodriquez and think although she plays the same character in everything shes ever done, I still like her. Ted Levine is one of my favorite actors so nice to see him here.
This film isn't horrible, but it isn't a great action film. It has a lot of big stars, big production and big hype but it's not got the story and action to back it up... I give it 3 out of 10 stars because it had its moments.
