NOT a movie for the car enthusiast!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2002)

I wanted so bad to like this movie, but I can't. There are so many technical inaccuracies it made me want to puke. I'm part of today's "Import Enthusiast" crowd, and have a good knowledge of engines and mechanicals. I read somewhere that they hired technical consultants for this flick, so it would sound like the actors knew what they were talking about. Could have fooled me. I'm not about to list everything that was wrong, but I'm still confused as to why you'd put SR20 Nissans in CIVICS!!!! Those of you as proficient as I am know exactly what I'm talking about. Those that don't, have a mechanic friend watch the movie with you, and watch him/her go insane. Enough about that. The ONLY things saving this movie were Vin, Jordanna, and the cars. It would have been nice if they weren't so riddled with graphics, but they were still cool. The dialogue was laughably rediculous ("....before I leave treadmarks on your face."), and so was the acting. Michael Schultz (sp) needs some serious acting classes. But Vin and Jordanna did a great job acting out their respective parts. For the sequel, can we get new writers, actors, and technical consultants?! A little less graphics would be nice also!
