awful

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2002)

I can't believe I actually saw this movie. After reading some of the other reviews posted, I cannot believe that these people are actually trying to pick apart the movie in terms of narrative structure and the filming techniques. There is absolutely nothing good about this movie. Characters were unlikable, poorly developped. Action scenes were terrible.. even the plot was horrible. The idea that there are mafia-type groups of people that drive around in parades of their cars around the street looking for strips to race on is ridiculous. The worst part is that this movie was trying to be realistic. It sets itself up in a real city and tries to make us believe that what we are seeing might actually happen. Anybody whose seen this movie and liked it had to have been blinded by the incredibly ridiculous looking import cars. Watching them race on the streets with endless cutting by the camera was a complete headache. By the end of the movie, we don't care about whats happening, we just want to see the nice cars crash. I've already seen that happen in Gone in 60 Seconds, and any other car chase movie of the past 30 years.. and don't need to see it again in this poor excuse for an action movie.
