Unfortunately so average...

Rating: 5/10 (19 July 2002)

Cross Point Break with Gone in 60 Seconds - and you get this one. Boring, predictable, unoriginal; good-looking good guys, bad-looking good guys, really bad bad guys and really good bad guys. BORING as boring can be. The dialogue is so pathetic, one feels sorry for great actors like Diesel who probably were not allowed to change the dialogue and say it better. I CAN'T BELIEVE this film... I have to admit though that most of the actors are pretty good (should be especially hard with a dialogue that primitive and the film so predictable in every single moment.) Also, the last few scenes are much more dynamic and interesting and dramatic and have at least SOME degree of unpredictability (not like anyone wonders in the last few minutes about Brian and what he will do, huh?) Also, Jordana Brewster after an incredible start in The Faculty never got any good roles (I hope someone will make a Love Story remake - she would get an Oscar for that probably), but COME ON - one hears/sees Yale and her intellect in every sentence, body move, smile, etc. - what the... would this girl be doing as a waitress/homemaker to her driver brother? Anyway, I'm pretty disappointed but I don't think the film is bad - it's just average - nothing one would expect from these actors - would have been pretty good for category B movies. I hope Brewster and Diesel get better in picking scripts (or agents) next time. I still think they (and Walker) are really good actors. Good luck to them but not to the folks who made this film. Sorry, you guys have no business making films - unless of course everyone is looking for repetition of the same old in every single film...
